School...

Ok, so I'm not a straight A student and I never will be. I have resigned myself to that fact and although I still work my ass off in most of my classes, I do the best I can and still don't get the marks I always want. So today, I had a listening exam in my history class. I know, most of you are like, "a listening exam? Easy!" Here's the thing... They are all classical works, there are approximately 15 works, plus a few of them have more than one movement. So, I needed to know them, know the composer and know why the composer was important. I know this stuff! But I was diagnosed as "disabled" a couple of years ago because I wasn't testing well and no one knew why. Turns out, it's not that I "suck" at tests, it's that I am really easily distracted and that my being in the classroom with my peers makes it worse. So, I'm allowed to write in a separate location and I get some extra time, plus I can write (type... whatever!) on a laptop or computer. But today the professor didn't have the accomodations set up the way they were supposed to be and I wrote in the classroom. I am 100% sure that I BOMBED it! :( I guess it means that I will have to work my ass off on the paper and project in this class... :( I found that I was SO distracted that I got things mixed up and didn't remember stupid things like spelling of composers names. I think that when I get the mark back, I might get a better mark than I am anticipating but I am trying not to be too optimistic or pessimistic either way. :P
