The Beginning Of The End?

So here's the situation: My dumb ass is on academic probation after posting an embarrassing 1.7 gpa for last semester. Two straight semesters of under a 2.0 and they give you the boot - heh, I said "boot." That would be two years and over $60,000 down the drain for me - nothing to "heh" about that. The school has a soft grading curve policy that sets the mean gpa between 2.2-2.4 for classes with more than 30 students - all of my classes this semester with the exception of my seminar class had over 30 students. They say it's a soft grading curve because professors are able and even encouraged, so they say, to petition for a higher - or lower for that matter - mean gpa. Often times, when there is a petition, it is granted at a compromised gpa.

Anyway, my first final is tonight at 6pm my time. Over the last two years, Prof. Forensic Evidence has given about half the class anywhere from a C- to a C+ with the class as a whole averaging a 2.7 gpa. A lot of B's and a few A's. Here's to hoping I'm on one half's side and not the other.

Wish me the best.
