    Then, since you're still talking about averaging grades, I assume a lot of the class doesn't require actually showing up. Take home tests, studying at home, that sort of thing? Or are you just totally blank.

    Thing with my school is that there's 23 departments offering a total of ~40 undergrad programmes, most to be studied as double-majors.

    That, plus the fact that the school has inadequate amount of classrooms, means that there's usually some overlapping between different programmes. Hence me not going to this course's classes in favour of objectively more important language practicals.

    If this test were a multiple-choice one I could probably get a D or a C. But it is not, and is more like an essay-type test, so lol

    I don't really understand how the test doesn't count and how you can take it again later, but it sounds like you can postpone it with no penalty or take it and suffer.

    Is there a downside to waiting?

    You usually get roughly 6-8 terms for taking an exam, evenly spread between winter ( Jan/Feb), summer ( Jun/Jul), and autumn ( Sep ) exam terms.

    This whole 'average of each take' thing is bullshit and this professor is the only one doing it afaik. Otherwise you just get the grade of your last exam ( if you fail first time, then second time get a C, you get a C, not B or whatever ).

    This term is the last one in this academic year, so if I don't pass the exam on Thursday I will have to wait till January to get it off my back, and possibly be forced to take the course all over again which would be a pain in the arse.

    Ah, that's a tough one. So you have a D now, and if you take the test and fail, the F will drag you down further. On the other hand, you'll need something like a high C to just get you a C once it's averaged with the D. Probably a B. Which means in all likelyhood you will have to take the test again anyway next time but with extra baggage. What's the final grade you're shooting for?

    I don't even know anymore. I just know that I'm not prepared and not in a state to take the exam, so I'm gonna postpone it for winter terms, come what may.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Just cancel it and give yourself a hot bath, then prepare for it next time. Better to take it on when you're ready.

    Playing Stellaris again, I'm the space dictator to a species of mad scientist cat fungi. I'm surrounded by three empires that all hate me. Only two of them have a defensive pact with one another. It's quite the predicament.

    Sounds like a typical Saturday afternoon at my parents' house.

    As for you Polly, in the expectation that I won't remember later, I'll wish you good luck now.

    Being adult is so hard

    Can I just go back to being a 5 year-old?

    Being a 5-year-old sounds okay, but learning language and pronunciation skills all over again would be the deaf of me.

    Nine years old is better, I think. You can, like, read and talk and stuff but still carefree.
