<p>Hi, I'm going to be entering my sophomore year of college this upcoming fall and I decided to take Calc over the summer in order to give myself something to do. I kind of had given up at finding a job at that point and wanted to do SOMETHING with my summer... so I signed up for it. Well, I got a job about a week before class began so I decided to try and juggle the two. Which was a bad idea (obviously since I'm talking about bad grades) because I'm already kind of poor at math to begin with so taking a higher level math class twice as fast in half the time was just a recipe for disaster. Add to the fact that I ended up closing every night before my tests and there we are.</p>
<p>I actually was doing fine in the class (at least, fine enough to transfer the class to my college) until last week, when we had our last test and a couple days ago we had our final. I wasn't having the best two weeks academically (or at work... or socially, tbh) and my grade tanked a full letter grade in just one week.</p>
<p>I know this is all my fault-- I shouldn't have worked so much, I should have concentrated more on my homework, etc.-- but there's nothing I can do about it. It's bad enough that I pretty much wasted eight weeks of my summer and about $500 without thinking of how it's going to affect my prospects for graduate school.</p>
<p>So here's the thing-- I plan on going on to get my master's in nurse-midwifery. I'm doing nursing and gender studies for my undergrad. The class, technically, has nothing to do with my field. So am I completely screwed? The grade itself wouldn't have transferred anyway-- only the credits would have so it wasn't going to affect my GPA anyway. I know it's just one bad grade and everyone gets bad grades (my GPA so far is a 3.7 so it's not like this is an everyday occurrence) but I'm kind of worried. Not as worried as I could be, but I'm reaaaally hoping that grad schools will forgive me if I maintain my usual level of work during the regular school year...</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
