I'm kinda freaking out right now.
Okay, here's a little background info:
My school year ended earlier than usual (May 22nd this year, June 6 usually). This messed up our schedule, and ended cramming our state standardized testing and exams ONE WEEK apart. I was in trouble because I was absent for a week beforehand.
I was in the hospital and asked my teachers to send me work. They didn't, and gave the excuse that they didn't want to stress me out, this wasn't important. I appreciated it, but the problem is, is that when I came back the crammed us with homework, and I ended up with another week to make-up on top of it. The schedule for me went a little like this:
week in hospital-week of review/makeup work-state tests-exams
I worked my butt off to get caught up, because I had really started slacking, pre-hospital, and was trying to get back on track.
My issue is that my History teacher gave me my make-up work, I did it, and turned it in the next day. He told me I was fine, all caught up.
So, these three weeks passed, and we have"weekly reports" on our school website. I just checked mine for his class. It says I have a D.
What. The. Heck.
Now, I care ALOT about my grades. ALOT. Lately, I've been feeling out of control, and this is one thing I could control. And I don't know how this happened.
Obviously, we're out of school, so there's no way I can talk to him/get caught up, or I would.

In the big scheme of things, one D won't ruin your life, believe me. Yes, it sucks because you care about your grades, but trust me you will still be a successful person and you will still get into college.
Try your best to contact the school, but don't let this ruin your summer.
