failed!

Don't you hate that feeling?
When you forgo a week of your life to study non stop, all the while you're not ACTUALLY retaining anything, and the subject is completely useless anyway?
And then you get to your exam, ready to put your knowledge to the test, and you realize, depsite the work and countless hours of studying, you actually know NOTHING, and spend the next three hours trying to BS answers for the entire exam using the only three concepts you can remember?
Welcome to my music history exam.
I will admit, I have in the past been the sort of person who says "I SO failed that" and ends up with an 85.
NOT THIS TIME.
I only eevn answered about 60% of that exam, and of that 60, only 35% were guaranteed marks, the rest was pure bull****.
So I'm pretty sure the verdict is about a 40%.
And I'd love to go drown my sorrows in a glass of red wine, but alas, I have my harmony exam to fail tommorow.
Ugh.
Someone please remind me why I'm taking music in university.....

"failer is inposibul"-susen be anthiny

OMG I can't take it!

Awww...I'm sorry

I failed a French test once - and I am French...but that's b/c the teacher was a BEEP!

AW Judy I DOOOO feel your pain. It took me twice to get thru Music History. Take it in summer school, its usually not as grueling

---

UGH....Thank god my university didnt section off history like that. 2 semesters and that was it for Vocal perf majors. But the listening exams were just pure hell...I hated the "drop the needle" game.

Oh Judy!

*hugs*

I'm sorry, chica. I did pretty badly on a Spanish test today, but that's far worse. Will you be able to make up the points?

I hate to break into JID's thread, BUT Plum, honey, you are FAR from an idiot

Judy - I'm sorry.

Sending a hug right back to you!

I have to qualify my original statement- political science is okay because it's fake science. *nods* Gotta love those social science. Pretending to be all scientific and stuff.

DG, thanks, but I really am an idiot. You'd think 4 years in a science high school would teach me to avoid the stuff, but nooo...

I hope your crappy mood passes, Judy. But I know finals are enough to make the best of us completely miserable. I don't even want to contemplate musicianship right now. *earnestly studies psychology*

Priest, you're WONDERFUL!

And #1 Elphie, this prof is all about the bell curve. Problem is, this was the final, and everyone else thought they did well on it- meaning there probably won't be a need for a curve.
Oi.
i'll still pass the course, just would have been nice to do well! Thanks for the encouragement though! I must admit, falling on my as$ in front of my house on the icy sidewalk really made my day!

Yeah, I totally know the feeling. I'd like to point out that according to my PART 100 exam, four of the most prominent lighting designers working in regional LORT theater today are Mary Poppins, Santa Claus, Bilbo Baggins, and Audrey 2.

Well, I was supposed to graduate this past spring but failed Chemistry so I took it again this semester and failed once more which means I have to take another science (not chemistry) next year so I can finally graduate. I hate Science. Plus, my school is being a dick by saying I owe them $1,700 and my parents and I have no clue why. I mean this is the same people who thought I was taking my class at the WRONG school and thought I took it this past summer instead of this semester. I mean, these people had to sign the sheet of paper saying I could take this class at another school and they don't even get the information right. Grrrrrr.........

Yes, Judy. Lets go get us some Catherine. Let's throw our worries away and get out our maps and equiment. I will bring the video camera for you and Catherine's porn scene.
