So I've been trying to remind myself that grades are not the most important thing in the world, and I do firmly believe that... but I find myself majorly stressing over my Geology test on Friday.

I got a 57 on the first test in there, 67 once he added 10 to all of our scores, we have a test Friday, and then the final and that's it.  I'm basically worried that I'm not going to pass the class (I think here you might have to retake any class you got a D or lower in).  I studied really hard for the first test and felt very comfortable with the material.  I talked to the professor and he wasn't able to give me any suggestions so I feel lost and out of control of my grade's fate.

This has never been the case before.  Before, it was always that I wasn't doing what I needed to if I was getting a bad grade (granted I've never had a grade this bad before) and so I just needed to pick up the slack and work my booty off.  But there's only so much I can do and when I've been doing all of the right things there isn't really room to improve.

I'm trying to force myself to breathe and not get all tense and freaked out.  It's tough though, it really is.  Especially since I'm sitting here thinking about the repercussions it could have on my GPA which could in turn influence my chances at law school and blah blah blah.  I just wish grades didn't matter!
