Once a really mediocre student...

I am still NOT cut out for this. I got my first college algebra test back today. Contrary to what I'd thought, I did not get a 15%. I got a 71. Yea, Abby!

Even better - should our final exam score be better than any one of our test scores, the instructor will use that exam score instead of the lowest test score. So, since I feel like I understand this crap better every day, there's still hope for a decent grade.

But I can't quite get to the point where I really feel like this matters very much... Maybe there WAS a reason I was not a stellar high school student.
