oh ya,

an example i would like to illuminate: i had an intermediate econ course that i was taking last yr. we had a midterm, final, and too very insignificant assignments. pretty typical stuff. i had a solid A (near 100%) going into our final. but i bombed it. i studied but not as much as i should have (i was having a rough quarter taking like 24 units) and also i was sitting next to a fat guy who smelled like ish (typical of uci students). his arm took up like half of tiny desk thingy (crapy auditorium lecture hall seating, again typical of uci). i just couldnt concentrate, damn it. the result: D on the test. the result if that: B- in the course. this is the lowent course score i have recieved, and seriously jepordized my transfer admission with USC.

damn you, quarter system. if i was in a semester system, i amy of had the chance to redeem myslef. but i didint. oh well, im off to greener pastures.
