Discouraged

Yeah, I'm kind of down from Biostats. Our final is this Wed, and I'm still somewhat confused as to what we need to know. I guess I'll just have to work at it some more. I tried to set up an apointment with the prof. but he does not have any office hours when I'm free. I asked him if I could talk to him outside of his office hours and he said that last time he spent too much time on campus so if it would take less than 15 minutes then he'd have time for me. That didn't help. When I asked him when his office hours were he gave me a time that wasn't what the secretary had when I had just asked her 2 minutes prior, so I let her know and she asked him about it, and apparently he didn't know when his office hours were. So someone else asked a different secretary and had gotten a block to talk to him when I had requested an apointment first, so now I may not be able to speak with him anyway. Praying I'll gain some understanding of the material before the midterm Wed, and that I'll be able to meet with him even if for a few minutes.

I got my last homework assignment back today. He threw out all the problems that I had spent the most time on. I probably spent at least 8 hours on 2 of those problems. I'm hoping to ask him if I can maybe get some extra credit for the work if it was done correctly and to review a couple of questions he marked with him to maybe get some points back if I can explain to him what I was thinking when I answered what I did. We'll see... I know things'll get better, it's just a bit difficult to look to the future ease when the present and near future looks kind of bleak yeah, I'm wallowing. heh. I'll get over it.
