Burn in Effigy
I want to burn my Economics prof in effigy.

Last week I didn't do well at all on our pre-test because of a really stupid mistake (I put drew the wrong graphs, even though I knew what they were). Friday we had our test. I thought I did well, at least in the 80's. Well, my hopes were shattered. 57/100 was my score. The 12 pts off the graph I can see, since I didn't label it correctly. I did however, draw it correctly. Stupid labels. Then there was the 25 pt math question. I thought I got it right, but I was wrong. I didn't take the .8 across the problem correctly. that messed up the rest of the problem. So there is 25 pts down the drain. I mean, come on. If my first answer had been correct, the rest of the question would have been too. he could have at least given me, and other people who did the same thing, at least partial credit fr doing the problem correctly.

It doesn't end there. He puts the grade distribution on the board. From 70 on down is in red, with two numbers in green. To the people with the green numbers, you know who you are, he says, you should drop this class, because you won't be able to cut it. Mine was one of the green numbers. It's not that I'm not doing well, I have just made some stupid mistakes on the test. Besides, this first test is only worth 15% of our grade. The final is worth 40%. I am going to do well from now on, and try not to do as many stupid mistakes. If all else fails, I'll see what credits transfer and take the classes at JCC over the summer.
