Bad Day

After the bright and optimistic blog I wrote this morning, today has been terrible. It started off pretty good. I didn't do that well on my linear algebra test, but I know when I think that, I do better than I thought. Then I had about four hours of free time between classes to catch up on homework.



I figured out how to do all my statics homework by myself, and I got them all right. After Statics, I went to the computer lab to work on my linear algebra. Almost immediately after starting it, I realized I didn't actually know how to do anything.



I went to get help from a teaching assistant (TA) because one was supposed to have office hours. I get there and by office hours he means class. I try to tell the teacher why I was there, and then in typical fashion, I start welling up like I'm going to burst into tears. I'd truly love to know why I do that, I can't control it, but it always happens during one on one conversations where I'm asking for help. Regardless, the teacher trying not to make me cry, quickly starts explaining the lab to me.

After that whole escapade, I have statics. I'm feeling pretty good, I know what I'm doing in that class. Every class we have a quiz at the end. Somehow after my TA explains all the stuff I already figured out how to do, she gives us the quiz. She explained it in the worst way, and I unlearned/no longer understood any of it. Regardless, I'm quite sure, I bombed the quiz.



Lastly, I went back to take the quiz on the linear algebra lab that I recently has explained to me, and I'm locked out. So as I'm sitting here on the train, I'm praying that my TA will get my e-mail sometime soon and rectify the problem, otherwise, it's one of many bad grades I've gotten today
