I've been rather silent about classes lately, and partly because I've been afraid and a little ashamed to admit it, but I think it will be liberating to open up about it to clear my head a bit so I can better prepare myself.

However, it's a little scary to realize that graduating on time depends almost solely on one final exam. If I can pull an 87.8% or better on the final in a particular course (Latin American Civilization, mostly a history class), I will graduate on time. If I don't then I must go ahead and take the summer course I'm registered for to make up for it. History has never been a subject I do particularly well in, and frankly, have limited interest for. Most history courses focus primarily on governments, military, war, politics, scandals within leadership, and economy... things that I have limited interest in. With the exception of some politics, most of that stuff I really don't pay attention to.

Add to that course learning about it in a language that is not your native language and have the course proctored by a difficult professor who writes very tough quizzes and tests, and guess what, I ended up in the situation I'm in now. XD Thankfully, I was able to pull up my grade quite a bit towards the end of the course so that I'm not failing the course, but I still need to augment the grade by about 3% more to receive credit for my major, and thus, graduate on time. That's where the 87.8% on the final comes in.

Wish me luck so that I don't have to drive 6 hours a week for a month and a half to take a summer class out of town.
