I'm very bummed right now.

I posted earlier that I have an A in math. I was *so* excited, all, I can't even tell you.

Well, I got an 80 on this stupid pop quiz. that dropped me down to a 90.2. barely hanging on. I figured...that's OK, I'll get a 100 on my notebook check and get a 90 on this test tomorrow, and I'll be fine.

WELL.

I got a 100 on my notebook. However, the stupid test! The last 3 problems were "Proofs" and I just don't understand them at all. I did *ok* on the rest of the test - probably would've gotten an 85, which would've been fine. But the stupid Proofs questions....they were worth double the points.

So basically, I lost my A - an A that I've worked my BUTT off for all marking period - thanks to three lousy questions on some STUPID test. The test wasn't graded yet, but I just know for sure - there's no way that I got even an 85 on it.

I know that a B is still good. Heck, I've not had a B in math since 5th grade. But I wanted that A so bad.

I worked SO hard for it. I didnt miss one single homework all marking period...I studied like crazy for all of my tests...never got below an 80-85. I got maybe one 75 on a quiz once. But that's it. All of that work. My grades might be better than they used to be (I've been failing math since 7th grade), but math itself isn't any easier for me.

This just feels so useless and stupid! I've been working so hard all year. I had to stop myself from crying when I gave my teacher the test. The marking period ends on Tuesday. There's no way I can get it back up to an A by then. We don't have any more tests or anything...and my teacher doesn't do extra credit. I had an 88.7 3 weeks ago and I got it up to an A in 3 weeks, cause I wanted that A so bad. and what do I get? a stupid B. Thanks to 3 dumb questions on some useless test.

I'm so dissapointed.
