26A- Celebrating Failure

  
1. Statistics has been abnormally hard for me this semester. I have always hated stats since I took AP stats in my Junior year of High school and I thought once it was over I'd never have to look back. This year I switched my major and realized I had to take stats again and I thought it would be a lot easier because of prior knowledge. Turns out, trying to remember something I barely learned 4 years ago would be a lot harder to apply into this semester was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Exam 1 came around and I was up for a solid 3 days long trying to teach myself all the material. I went into the exam super confident that I was going to be holding a big W afterwards. Long story short I got a 35% on my exam. I was probably a lot more dramatic than I should've been but no one saw my face for a whole week. I have a mini fridge and a full equipped bathroom I had no  business showing my failure of a face around that week. After that, I decided I would not wait till last minute to study for a stats exam ever again. Guess what I did tho? Waited last minute AS HELL. Long story short, with through another 4 days of no sleep to cram and failed YET AGAIN. Idk if I even needed to say this but I 100% withdrew from that class. 

2. So I'm going to have to retake stats again over summer and I am going into it completely ready to show my teacher I am better than spring semester. Now that I kind of know the material, I am fully capable of passing the class.... next semester that is. I will start studying weeks in advance and not wait last minute to teach myself a whole unit's worth of material. 

3. Failing is difficult, especially a class. But i am thankful I am allowed to retake the class instead of accepting failure.
