And it has already rained

God never gives us something in our life that He knows we cannot handle.

I believed it. So while everyone intimidated by my Spanish 2 teacher's curriculum, and process of grading dropped out in early October, I stayed. It was a fun class and I knew that I"d actually learn more about the language. The whole semester seems like preparation for the end of term final; I mean, not really, but if you work hard he'll give you so many second chances that all that really matters is the final-your very last chance. I got a C+ last term and if you get higher the second term, he goes back and changes the grade before it's a transcript.
So the pressure's (was) on.

The grading system is very hard to understand, but once you do, you are prepared.
It points out every minute mistake and, since each daily test is only worth 10 points, you arent tested on everything and the little stupid mistakes you make add up.
The final is no different. It will catch you with any misspelling or missing accent mark and throw you just under the passing point.

I realize that there's no excuse for me not studying, because he is constantly reminding to do it 24/7. And it's also my lazy and procrastinating habits that led me to this probable D+.
It's like when you know that you need to fix the little dinged, broken piece of your right windshield wiper. You now that the storms are coming up soon, but you just put it off until It's already raining. Then what do you have; an unclear view of what's ahead.

I had all these nights to study, and what little I did wasn't enough. I just kept putting it off, knowing full well when the final was. And now the final is over, with 70% of my grade counting on whether or not I passed all the sections (the other 30% isn't all that great either).

Maybe he'll be as merciful as he was last term, seeing how this was one of my section scores:

10 pt grading scale
10 Excellent-A+
9 Very Good-A
8 Good-B
7 Satisfactory-C <-----7-Cut off point for passing any test/section of test.
<-----6.5-Score I got on one section of the final.
6 Insufficient-D If any of the essential Spanish 2 standard tests are failed, it
5-4 Poor-F+ is an automatic D in the class
3-1 Very Poor-F (thus, no Spanish three next year)
