Rant Missed a Midterm
i'm just ranting because i'm genuinely so upset and distraught right now. i had a midterm for a chemistry elective today (the 26th) that i'd been studying for for TWO WEEKS. i have ADHD, so i already have to work extra hard to keep up with this kind of stuff, and this is a retake after i failed the class the first time around. i had an 80% going into this exam. the midterm is 25% and the final is 30%.
and i fucking missed it because, for whatever reason, i was 10000% convinced my professor said it was on the 28th. i was literally studying for it TODAY and planning to keep studying tomorrow, completely unaware like some stupid imbecile i'd already missed the damn thing. missing it dropped my grade to a 53%.
my transcript is such a mess im in tears. i really thought this semester i will fix things, clear whatever fucked up grades I have, withdraw less, fix my gpa. i have my physics common on nov2 and i feel like i wasted my fucking time studying for this chemistry class in place of physics of this is how it was gonna go. i literally already have my advisor "suggesting" everytime I see him that I should think about doing a fucking BA degree instead cuz it might be "easier due to my track record". literally fuck you. i am really working so hard right now i hate everything
