Well as some of you may know I'm currently attending my freshman year at UCCS for a Mechanical Engineering degree. I'm taking Calculus 3 and Physics 2 and they're both pretty challenging but today I got really discouraged. This past Friday I took our second Unit Test (Partial Derivatives) in Calc and I thought I did great on it. I studied really hard and when I took the test I answered all the questions easily and completely. But when I got it back today I saw that I got a 72% !!!!! I haven't felt this bad about school since I was a little kid. I've gotten plenty of bad grades in the past but never this bad on something I put so much effort into. I know college isn't a joke like high school was but damn, I had no idea it could be this bad. I hope I can do better on the next test and the final for this class so I don't start off with a low GPA, but I'm not sure yet how exactly I'm going to do that. I'm also scared now as I have no idea how much harder the classes after these are going to be.
