how the mighty have fallen

i was thinking of writing something about getting engaged or diagnosed with cancer or winning the lottery in honour of april fool’s day, but after probably flunking my final last night, i’m really not in the mood. you know, it sounds like that’s an april fool’s joke, doesn’t it? if only it was.
it’s completely my fault and i have no one else to blame. if i’d done the last assignment i’d have been completely prepared for the program-writing portion of the exam. as it stands, i didn’t finish the program and what portions i did get done (or attempted) aren’t working properly. i’m screwed. the only saving grace i might hope for is this snippet from the course outline:

The student’s combined marks from the midterm and final exams must be a passing grade in order to pass the course.

i got 81% on the midterm. if i got the 52% or so i think i got on the final, then i just might pass. ugh. stupidstupidstupid. and i have no one to blame but myself.

    I’m sure you did better than you anticpated. I think this is some sort of rule with people who’ve done well in the past. Its good that you worry though.. its those that don’t worry that I’m concerned with. (Well… of course, dependant on their history.)

    I love all the wrought iron and vineyness you keep posting. I want a big gazebo of wrought iron and vines in our yard (think the landlord might object? ;-)).
    And I’m sure you’ll pass. If not, is the instructor cute enough to sleep your way to an a? Kill two birds with one stone, and all that…
