It’s really hard when your best isn’t enough. I signed up for the Winter Minimester as a last resort to get Business Math out of the way so I could graduate in May before my wedding. I had attempted to pass the class at A&M, but after an abysmal first test score, I had to Q-drop to save my GPA.
I had hoped that a 12 day course at Blinn would be easier, and at first all seemed well. I was making 100s on the homework and passed my first test, but things quickly got out of hand. Despite spending four hours a day in class and ten hours per night on homework, I was too lost to pull off a passing grade. I’m devastated that I put in so many hours of hard work just to have to drop the class, but I truly did give 100% of my effort.
I can’t even express how disappointed I am that I won’t be graduating in May like I had planned, but sometimes that’s just how it goes. I’ll take the class again in the summer, and I’m determined to pass. The bright side of the situation is that I’ve learned about 80% of the material, so hopefully I’ll be able to get better grades on my third attempt.
