bummer! hey - wanted to say to remember (and J.R., too) that it can take time to get back up to speed with doing the student-thing when you've been away from it for a few years. When I went back this last time, I was shocked at how HARD everything was. By the end of the semester, it wasn't such a big deal anymore. It just took a while to get used to that kind of mental activity again.
I hate it when they do that!!!! Prolongs the anxiety even further...grrr...
My history teacher did something nearly as bad tho -- he DID hand out the graded tests last week (I got a 96, yeah!!!!), BUT THEN HE COLLECTED THEM BACK! His theory was, he'll use this test again for future classes, so he doesn't want any extra copies of them floating around out there, to prevent cheating or whatever.
Problem with that is, the final exam will be cumulative, based on all the ohter exams during the semester... and i use past tests to STUDY FROM! Ack! I have my notes, but still wasn't happy about not having the real, live test to refer back to. ack!
I am the wife of a Wounded Warrior. I am a Mom, a student, and an employee. I'm trying to blend a briefcase and an apron, but have yet to find the perfect shoes to tie the outfit together. My life is Simplicity, Interrupted.
