Hope you all will tolerate me asking another question, because I think someone might be able to give me some peace of mind?

Well, two things happened today.

The first is that I *thought* I was signed up for the AP French exam (which took place today). Apparently, because I wanted to take both French lit and French language, and the school was only ordering one, apparently I miscommunicated to my guidance counselor that I didn't want either... So apparently I'm currently without a source of language credits, except dual-enrollment courses (French phonetics / French conversation) I took this year. Anyone been in this situation before? How has placing out worked for you?

The second is that I just basically bombed my linear algebra final at my local university, which might give me B in terms of a college grade, or worse, a C. Starting out freshman year already with a GPA under 4.0 doesn't seem like a good start to me. When I checked the website, they mentioned credits, but not grades. Can I safely assume that if they do accept my potentially "B" course, if they would accept any at all, that the grade wouldn't be transferred?

I'm aware I should call, and I'm composing an email at this minute, but I just want to see if CC'ers might be able to offer some advice on the matter?
