Diamond in the Rough

I know, two blogs in one day is almost overkill, but I really need to vent.

You know that 22 page paper I spent all day writing yesterday, well I failed it. Apparently I should be lucky she didnt give me a zero for the whole paper, but to me I would rather the zero than any other F. To me the zero means I didnt attempt it, but the fact that I have some percentage points means I tried and failed. failed miserably.

I dont think I have ever failed a paper, at least not since I started high school. I am a pretty good paper writer. But this time, she said I wasnt detailed enough. Apparently she wanted a 50 page paper, when her page requirement listed, as a minimum ( and there was no way anyone could have written the paper in this many pages even if the barely tried!) of 8 pages. I know I waited until the last minute to do it, but I looked at every good website and pulled my information from there.

Then, I must not have understood part of her instructions, or she didnt understand what I wrote, and I lost 96 points for one part of the paper.

This was a 600 point paper and I got a 387. I really wish I could drop this class, but the withdrawl deadline has passed. She really tore me apart in her comments about my paper. I mean there were 1 1/2 pages of comments on how horrible my paper was. She was nasty about it. I really want to just give up on this class. I know I cant, because I cant afford a “F” in the class, but i feel so defeated.

Well, thanks for reading if you made it this far, I needed to get it out.
