I struggle with math. Today, looking back, I think it was more of a "I can't do this, so I won't work at it" vs. "I can't do this". I encourage you to work through the math issues, with assistance, a tutor, more than 1.5 hours studying the night before the exam, to make this work.

And, just an FYI, it is totally possible to pass EVERYTHING in college. Many people do. Don't let that become your attitude. ;)

I don't know if I'd call math issues adversity either, but it is a challenge and either way a very good point.

I think that is my way of thinking to, and I WILL keep working at it.

As for the quiz, well.. yeah I got it back today and I did really bad. I will be going to office hours Monday morning to finish my lab and I plan on talking to my teacher then. But you know the weird thing? Yesterday I looked at my grade, and it said my overall grade was a B, and this was BEFORE all the grades she gave back today were put in. I went to look at it today 'cause all the new grades were in...and I have an A? AN A?? After getting a horrible grade on a quiz. I got a good grade on the labs and HW's though, which were worth 10% of our grades just like the quizzes. I e-mailed my professor just to make sure it wasn't some sort of mistake. My only guess is that the labs some how balanced it out.
