Saturday I had my 2nd Algebra test.  I didn’t feel as confident about this one, but it wasn’t because of the Algebra problems, it was because it also included many Geometry problems, which I honestly didn’t even understand.  Which brings up my first question.  If this is an elementary Algebra class, why is Geometry being thrown in in the first place?

Anyway, WHen I got the instructors email, I had my first clue that it probably wasn’t the best exam because the title of his email was “Here’s the damage”.  I ended up getting a C on the exam, which dropped my over all grade in the class from an A- to a B.  Yes, I know a B is still a good grade, but it just irritates me because I know the reason my grade was as low as it was is because of the Geometry problems.  If it wouldn’t have been for those, I’m fairly certain I’d have gotten a much better grade!

I felt horrible for my husband though.  He felt much better about this exam and was certain that he got a better grade than he did on the last exam, but he was wrong, he ended up with an F on this one dropping his over all grade to a D-.  You have to pass this class with a C, anything below that and you have to repeat it.  I don’t know what else I can do to help him pass this class.  We’re almost at the half way point, if he can’t bring up his grade soon he won’t pass it.

So, that’s the Algebra update.  I’m already working on picking my classes for next semester, and I can start registering for them on October 3rd.  Wish me luck!
