Grade Discrepancy

Cutter's Log - Supplemental

I just sent a note to my music teacher about my grade as of this point. Apparently I've been shorted about 30 points. I added up my total points, and they came to about 30 more than what was given.

Unfortunately, I will be getting no better than a D in this class. My learning capacity in this class is full. Together with my physics grade, I may be under the Mendoza Line - which probably forbids me from Highland, and making me take a "study skills" class at Sauk.

Let me be frank, I haven't touched NISB this summer except for the State of the Site addy. So don't tell me that NISB or IHSGD is ruining my grade. Before I worked at BP, I had a 2.9 GPA in my first year of college. Since then, I had two grades handed to me on a silver platter.

Other than a monumental comeback in Composition I class, nothing good has happened grade-wise. I had a 54 coming into the due date of the final research paper. That paper bumped me up to a mid-C. I had a similar situation during my senior-year English class. I had a D+ coming into the final research paper. That paper, which was on the Multiplier, raised my grade to a B.

I've done less on NISB during 2007-08 than I did in 2005-06. I remember that year being the one where I'd cover anything and everything. That was because I did not have a job.

It's the job! That same job that is giving me money for working. Cut off the job, I have no money. Cut off the money, I have no college studies. Cut off the journalism, I have no purpose of going to school.

And I can't live on my own.
