I think I REALLY messed up my first semester...

College Life
1

<p>I started college this fall, and my moms check bounced so I got dropped for non-payment, basically had to re-secdual all of my classes and due to the timing, I received horrible professors (found out VIA rate my professor and being in their class -.-). Anyways half way though the year I had to drop out of 2 classes since I had too many abscesses (when I was received my new classes after being dropped all of the 'other' days of class I wasn't in counted towards abscess, I basically had F's, but since I withdrew in that week they will show up ass W's on my report card, or what ever you call it) than in one of my classes I have a teacher whos also an admin and shes a VERY tough grader (1 A in the entire class and she said she was being too nice even for that) but our midterm was a debate with our partners (i guess we had to work together) but my partner got sick on me, and he dint tell me when he could come work on the thing with me -i asked him over facebook only form of communication i had with him- and when the day came, i was all set to go, and he told me to ask the professor for more time, she dint say anything, and the next day i skipped a class to work on the project with him -only time he was free- and when we got to class she said it wont be fair to the other kids if she lets us go, and said one is barley skating by with a D and the other is failing, and to get "our **** together" next class we got our midterm grades and i was frigging failing and he just looked me and said "that sucks" and just basically said "F*** you haha" (you could tell was on his face)... I went to her office the next day to talk to her, (The class before she saw him writing my notecards for my debate off my laptop) and i told her i was ready to go and he wasnt, she told me that i dint stand up for myself and i should of let him taken the fall for the project, and shes not changing my grade... than I got chickken pox, and ive missed about 4 weeks of classes (its the 'viral' kind according to my doc and im contagious so i coudnt go anywhere out of my room). I Have about 9-10 absences in all of my '3' classes.</p>

<p>one class i had an A- in and the professor emailed me saying theres little chance of me passing now, and my eco class i talked to the professor and Ill be making up the quizes i missed (thank god)</p>

<p>**
and this class i havnt gotten any emails back from the teacher yet even though ive been emailing her for the past week ( i can finally go to class tomorrow) when i go to the place where you can drop/add classes online that drop option is gone, and theres i think 2 weeks left of classes I can make up all the work within a day or two since ima quick learner but im afraid for this class im screwed...</p>

<p>Im indian i have parents that will literally disown me if they find out in what kind of shape im in right now... what should i do about this i have no one i can ask since everyones "too good/smart" to help me out</p>

<p>i also found out im lacking motavation in the last 2-3 days and i think its because im commuting and i get WAY to comfy at home, since when im on campus i can work in the library for hours without even having to move my chair... (i can only stay on campus for my classes since my mom works at night and i have a 6 yr old sister that i have to watch) im begging my parents to let me dorm, and they said theres a chance next year. I cant do ANYTHING at home, no matter where i go to work my parents/sister ALWAYS buggs me and i cant concentrate. Im thinking if i dorm i can just go to the library when ever i have homework or if i just want some me time and work since its soo peaceful there, and I dont have car insurance since i just got my license so i cant drive myself to the public library and my moms too tired/busy to ever drive me anywhere...</p>

<p>for next semester i registered for a full 18hour [5/6 class] secdual to sort of kick me in the butt so i can actually stay on campus longer and get my work done in time...</p>

<p>I believe you could have got some studying done in the time it took you to write this post. I don’t want to appear rude, but I have found myself that little time wasters like this quickly add up. Your school should have some sort of on-campus tutoring. Have you look into that?</p>

<p>i dont know ow tutoring works (do you get credit for being tutored?)</p>

<p>im not stupid i had a 3.9 GPA in HS and i have a A-, and a C considering i missed almost half the classes…</p>

<p>im more worried about that last class where its too late to drop out of and i dont like the professor…at all. I mean i like her teaching style but i dont like her, as a teacher… and shes bascailly failing me for not standing up for myself, i dint even know that was possible</p>

<p>That’s why I recommended tutoring. Instead of learning from your professor, learn from peers. I don’t know how your school works, but at mine you don’t get credit for being tutored alone. However, if you pass the class, then there’s your credit.</p>

<p>ahh i get what your saying but the only thing left in the class is the final paper, and since ive missed 99% of the class and have an F and 80% of our grade is participation, im just wondring how to get out of this mess, that professor is no help at all, she doesnt even email back</p>

<p>im using my schools email</p>

<p>Wow you kind of suck at writing. Maybe that’s why your professor ignores your emails. Learn to be coherent first.</p>

<p>sunydays, i am a mom - and a pretty demanding mom, but i want to tell you - your parents may be disappointed but they will not disown you. make a plan to get yourself back ontrack. i do read into your post that you seem to be blaiming other circumstances, other people and not “owning” much of the position you are in. So step one - take a bit of responsibility, figure out exactly what you can do to get back on track, and just put your head down and do it. you may not salvage this semester - but prepare yourself to redeem youself next semester.</p>
