Algebra Sucks!!!!

The last half of today was very stressful for me. In algebra there was a test on Graphing and I thought I was going to do OK because I did very well during yesterday's review, but we got them back soon after we took them and my grade was...............a 0 out of 100 points.

OMG I still can't believe it. I also can't believe I allowed myself to accept it. There was no reason why I shouldn't have made an A or B on that test and the thing that really messed me up was getting the negative and positive signs wrong, which is what I've been having trouble with since we started this unit. I should have immediatly asked if I could retake the test and maybe get half credit(better than nothing) but I didn't because I was in so much shock. I tried not to cry, but I couldn't control it. I have a lump in my throat just typing this now.

This is horrible. I could literally fail this class. I don't understand how my grades in one course could drop so drastically. The rest of my courses are fine. But I have to keep telling myself that there will be other opurtunities to bring my average up. Next week we're doing reviews for Semester exams so there will be homework grades. Also there is the semester exam itself which could really bring up my average if I made an A or B on it, but I'm still not sure if that will be averaged in or not. I'll have to ask.

I'm going to really apply myself this coming week if I want this grade to come up. I should also do extra credit, if Coach Boman gives us any. I am really pissed off at myself for allowing this bullshit to go on for this long and now I have to kick my own ass with I only have a week and a half left to get a decent average. This is depressing me even more than I already am.
