... and I got a 75. A goddamn 75%.

In an intro programming class. A class that I've taken twice (once as an AP in high school, once in another university during high school).

On an exam that's 10% of my grade.

On an exam with an average grade of 85%.

While my "friend" down the hall got a 100. I'm so stupid.

My whole life, I've been taught to value education. So many things have taken a backseat because of this. And here I am, 3 weeks into the next 4 years of my life. With a 75%. That's a C. I've always been a (mostly) straight A student. This cannot be happening.

I guess this just means I gotta study more? But I don't know how to do that. My professor is absolutely awful, and my TA's are rather clueless so I can't go to them for help. And I'm doing splendid on the homework. But this exam... It doesn't bode well.
