*Love* the stress I'm under with school right now. My class that I got behind in? Hee. Well, it's so much fun, because I have to do catch up *today* Six chapters of questions. The questions usually run 6 or 7 pages total. Whee! *head thunks on desk*

Not ape shit. Bat shit.

This is the day of "let's not tell Heather anything, and let's make her life a living hell, and let's be as confusing as possible, and all while she's trying to do filing and answer the 2,055,242,535 phone calls from all the people on the earth that refuse to go to voicemail."

Plus got a test score back from my Crisis Intervention teacher...76. Seventy-fucking-six. I studied for that damn thing, and I get a 76. Oh, and I took the safe way out on an essay. Hello, it's flying by the seat of our pants role-playing. What the fuck ever. At least I got a 23 out of 30 on that, but still. The rest of the test was hell, and that's considering last night I took a mid-term on 7 chapters in Criminal Law, and I aced that. How can I ace a test with 7 chapters and get a 76 on one with 3 chapters?

And I swear to god, I'm going to scream shortly if people don't leave me alone around here.

Lord have mercy. My teacher is dense.

I just emailed the Crisis Intervention instructor asking about some tips on how to study for her tests. After all, the tests are 60% of the final grade. Each one is 15%. Taking that into account, the fact that I got a 76 on Friday's test (and hello, was only one of two people who took the frickin' thing on time) and got a 60 on the first test...I don't like it when her response is "you're doing fine". Hello! Failing the tests here! Or at least one, the other is a D. I am *not* taking this class over if I ask for help and she doesn't give it to me. That's shit. The whole purpose of asking for help is to actually get *help*. Help me understand what I'm messing up. Hell, help me understand if I'm just reading the scoring wrong. I know I have time to turn the grade around. I'm doing really well in the other 40% of the grade. I had a class in college (biology - which I suck at) that taught me how to study. The *only* grades were the four tests. I failed the first two, learned how to study, and got nearly perfect grades on the last two. I managed to pull out a B in the class. If this teacher will help me out, explain *something* to me, like how she chooses the questions or something, then I can hopefully pull my grade up to a high B or low A. Hell, I'll just settle for passing at this point.

What happens when I type in LJ? Nothing.

What happens when I type sausage recipes for work? Not much.

What happens when I type two sentences for a class assignment? The phone rings non-stop.

And if I hear one more person say "I'll just call back later"...

To the moon!
