My two credits shy debacle will not make the world end. I know there is a reason that this happened, and I will feel the anguish and let it go. What else can I really do? I changed my schedule. Since I have to stick around for one more semester, I delayed my science class. That means I have two fluffy classes to go with my Editing Essentials class. I wasn’t looking forward to cramming two of the harder classes into one semester of senior-itis. That’s one of the upsides to this whole thing. The downside is that we will have to remain here for a few more months and to request a small rent-extension from our landlords. Our lease is up in March, hence, the move in March. I wish things were different, but I have to suck it up and deal with the what I’ve been handed
My request for a grade reassessment in that Humanities class is going to be interesting. I must contact the professor first. I sent her the following e-mail, since I hate the phone and am more libel to get all emotional and angry when I heard her voice. At least in e-mail I can govern my words.
I was just informed of my final grade for your Spring Humanities class. I feel the need to request re-evaluation of that grade. I was instructed by my advisor to contact you first to request this reassessment. I’ve never gotten less than a B in any class, so this C- was quite a shock. I don’t believe that I did C- work in your class. I would like to know what grades I earned for my senior thesis and for my final test in the class. Please let me know what you think, and where we should go from here.
Thank you for your time.
I don’t know if she is going to shit when she gets that, or if I am going to offend her, but I’ve decided to fight this. Even if I lose, I will know that I worked my ass off for a better grade and that my thesis paper rocked. I feel like someone just shook my educational foundation. It’s been a pretty shitty month what with my unimportant birthday, the catastrophic Chicago trip, this mess with school and the stress of planning a move. It’s not fun being me right now. I know this sounds pathetically whiney, but I just wanted to catch a break and it seems as if I am just taking it on the chin. I will get over it. Move on. I’ve done it before and I know I will just bulldoze through this mess. For a moment though, I would like to have my temper-tantrum.
More cheerful posts to come. Have a happy Friday.
