Shit.

Tests taken so far this quarter:

IT371: 97%
Stats: 58%
German: 68%
BUS342: 49.5%
IT371: 57%
BUS342: 56%

There are two more tests I've yet to get back, but I doubt either of those tests will earn me better than 60%. The last test is particularly disappointing, the entire class did so poorly on the first mid-term that the teacher created a make-up test to improve our scores. I reviewed the old test, the solutions for the old test, examples of old mid-terms, homework assignments, created a study sheet and memorized it so I wouldn't have to spend time reading through it during the test.

And I bumped my score up by 6.5%. To 56%. Yay.

Because when I study my ass for a single specific question I know will be asked and is asked, I still manage to fail the damn test. It's at this point that I have to stop and ask another specific and expected question: what the hell is wrong with me? I've got one B (IT371) and three Fs to my credit, which drops my GPA off to a nice, round, "why even bother?" Oh, and we can't forget the CR/NC 1-unit bowling class. Because it’s so nice to know there’s at least one class I can do well in…

Finals are in three weeks, and the nose-dive only seems to be accelerating. Study, and I fail. Don't study and I fail (only more so). And I'm fresh out of optimism, out of mid-terms I could use to save my grade, out of any idea of how to fix this...
