The State of the Academics

Well, I just got back from my Japanese oral interview, which didn't go so hot, but then again I'm used to getting 10s on my O.I.s, so maybe my grade on that won't be the worst it could be. However, before the interview started Tazawa-sensei told me that he's basically sure I won't be able to pass the class because I currently have 40%. I didn't really want to talk about it then, so I told him I'd talk to him later. After the interview was over he said to come back at 4.
I figured I'd be fine if I just turn in all my old work and do the dialog checks and quizzes and chapter 18 and 21 tests, but I wonder if he's coming from the perspective that I actually won't be allowed to do that. (Besides the fact that I'm grossly abusing policy, it may actually not be in the policy somehow.)
But even if I do indeed fail Japanese this semester, I can still take third year by taking the L.P.E., which I'm positive I'd pass. But I'm very close to failing too many of my classes right now. So many that beyond the worry of my financial aid eligibility, it's not at all unreasonable to think that I might end up being kicked out of school (which would happen if both my term and overall G.P.A. fall below 2.0). I mean, if I actually lose my financial aid or backing from my parents, whatever. I can work full time and pull my own weight through college like a lot of people who won't be living with their parents do. But if I get kicked out of school altogether...
I know I could still take classes at MCTC (Minneapolis Community and Technical College), but I don't even think they have third year Japanese, and if they do I think it's a different curriculum anyway.
If only MCTC's classes weren't so worthless to me...

At least the lilacs are in bloom... *breathes in deeply*

Okay, off to ganbaru (for what it's worth)!

P.S. I can't decide whether to remove comments on this post or not, so comment at your discretion.

yup

Just dropped my MCTC app and overdue phone card bill in the mail.
Something's up with one of my friends (what that is I'm not sure), and I'm both angry with and worried about her at the same time. I think we're all stressed as all hell right now.

(no subject)

Finals week hours on Friday are (something) to 4. I work starting at 6 on Fridays. I have no work on Friday, which means I can study instead! *pumps fist in air*
Although the annoying thing is, summer hours start on Monday, and I can't sign up for summer shifts until I know what summer classes I'm taking, and I can't tell for sure what summer classes I'm taking until I know what classes I'm going to be passing/getting at least C-s in. And then there's the whole issue that if I do indeed get kicked out of school, I'm not sure I'm allowed to work at UDS at all. So this shall be interesting.
Oh well, I'll just ask Gerry if I can pick up some random shifts next week. Maybe 9-4 every day? ;) (How sweet would that be? 35 hours in one week! I currently work only 12 hours a week, so that'd be three weeks worth of pay! But I doubt I'll be allowed to do that.)

So, up to my room I go.

if wishes were fishes... or somethin' like that

I wish I went to a European school so my entire course grade in most classes would basically be based on one final/paper at the end of the course. (That's what Patrick says is the case, anyway.) That'd be sweet.

Tori says the tomorrow's Japanese test is at 9 am, so I'd better get on that benkyou ball. *opens my cold bottle of Bawls and takes a sip*
