Down the Tubes in No Time Flat
Today was the first major exam in my math course, in inequalities. It happened to have a bonus question, so the good news is that I killed it for over the maximum: 106 points. The bad news: I'm going to need that cushion.
I couldn't free up enough time to get help on systems of equations with three variables this week, so now I'm a full class behind. I didn't do so hot on the word problems before the exam today, either...no clue as to what's going on. I do have the MathTV videos but with two major exams next week the time to catch up is not going to be there.
This is where effectively permanently losing my tutor to a bad break (my colleague leaving the pharmacy) really hurts, and badly. I have no idea how I'm going to tell my advisor that I know I'm in deep shit (pardon the language) but am basically in a position where I can't fix it unless something miraculous happens.
And with the way my luck runs, I can't say I believe in miracles....

To fill in a blank, the math course had been the only course I\'m in where I was reasonably caught up when I was able to see a tutor. Now, even that is out the window. Frankly, my heart is saying do damage control and give up on the triples now, take the penalty, and look to get help when things finally settle back down.
I don\'t know what else to do...if this snowballs, I\'m sunk. And there may be warning signs that it already has, seeing as how it\'s midnight and I\'m not even close to sleeping because I feel so bugged.
