I Hate Having Expectations For A Exam And Failing

No Second Chances In Life... I hate it when you finally think that you will be able to make your grade rise in a class you can't stand not just for your family but for yourself and then suddenly when the moment comes to take the test, you are not able to because of forces that are beyond your control. I had to miss an exam because I got the flu. My professor feels no sympathy for me and feels I should be super-human for this one test. I could be in the hospital right now struggling to breathe and he will still expect me to show up to class with tubes up my nose to take it. I have to retake the class in the summer at 8 a.m.

My parents are not the least bit helpful since they feel like it was my fault that I failed the last two exams I took in that class. That I wasn't "trying." They refuse to understand that all I did was try but you could still try and fail. That's all I do. So lesson learned: become super-human in college for every test you can and try to be perfect for your parents at all times otherwise they will refuse to pay your college tuition.
