Dr. OCD So... I'm definitely going to be failing my Stats final. I have never felt so unprepared for something in my life. If you were to ask me one question, just one simple question, about the test... I would not be able to tell you the answer. "What does this symbol stand for?" "Uhhh....." That's how the test is gonna go. But, in reality, the questions will be much harder. But! I have already accepted that I'm going to fail, so I'm not too upset about it. Okay, I am, but I also know that it was 85% preventable and I was a lazy a** all semester. I just can't decide if I want to even go to the final or not. Because here's what'll happen if I do go: I will arrive. Get the test. Sit down. Look at the problems. Skip the ones I can't do. Make it to the final page with no problems done. Start having a mental breakdown. Cry. Pretend I'm not crying. Wait until everyone else has finished the final. Hand my professor the blank final and run out.
Here's what you do. You improvise. You go in there, act like you know what you're doing, and start writing in whatever comes to mind if you don't know it. Aim for laughter. At the end of the test, about when everyone else is done, write an apology on the last page telling him how you didn't know anything at all, and that you hope he still gets a giggle. Doing so should help you to not break down and instead give you something to do other than want to die.
It, surprisingly, works well. |

Hmmm.... nice idea. Though I'm not sure if the professor would enjoy that. |

Start having a mental breakdown. Cry. Pretend I'm not crying. Wait until everyone else has finished the final. Hand my professor the blank final and run out. If you already know that you're going to fail then I don't see the point in putting yourself through emotional stress. You can take the class again, but don't kid yourself. You need to study and actually TRY to pass the second time around.
I would never take this class again. I don't need Stats for my Psych major, I found out. I need Social Science Stats. Sigh. So, I'll just take an easier level math class. |

Don Caballero colon bracket Don Caballero All of my cd's were stolen out of my truck today : Im ready to go hunting for hoodlums. I dont even care about my car window anywhere near as much. I feel empty now... File an insurance claim...? I don't have full insurance coverage. Mommy and Daddy do not pay for my insurance like most kids.
That's funny, because when I was 18 I had full insurance coverage because I worked 30-40 hours a week while finishing up my high school career. |

Well, I wasn't directing it towards anyone. But it's kinda hard to pay for full coverage in the off season when you get maybe 10 hours if that a week. |

I know that feeling :
I'm still employed, but haven't seen a day of work in (literally) over a month. Been applying to places nonstop but no one is hiring, especially if you already have a job, regardless of how seasonal it is.
And just found out today that I don't qualify for any of the paid medical testing at the nearby hospital.
But I don't want to sound like a complainer and I know tons of other people are facing the same type of s**t from the job market right now. |

This is why I'm not complaining..much...about working for Wal-Mart, even if in 2 weeks I drop down to 17 hours. *sigh* Hate this economy... |
