Grade Frustration

So there's a policy at our school that you have to maintain good grades to play in a sport. You are not allowed to have an F in any class, and if you do, you cannot play. I could go into more details, but you get the picture. We're almost into the middle of the golf season now, and one of my grades is starting to slip. And it's my physics grade. Physics is my hardest class, and let's just say I have my opinion of the teacher, but I'm not going to say more than that.

I have to get my grade up ASAP, and I'm having a little trouble. I'm taking 90% of the blame on this one. I did turn in some things late, and I didn't have my priorities straight. I put off a couple homework assignments, thinking that I would do them later and it really wouldn't really make a difference. Yeah that's probably the worst thinking I could have, and it's a terrible attitude to have about my school work. I know now that isn't going to fly here in high school, and it definitely is not going to fly in college. Now is the time that I need to kick it into gear, and know I will get no where if I don't.

The other 10% is not exactly my fault. Last week we had a quiz in physics. I took the quiz with the rest of the class, on time, and turned it in like every one else. Our teacher told us the next day that he worded some questions weirdly on the back page of the quiz, and we were going to retake that half of the quiz the next day. So I retook the quiz, once again, with everyone else. Midterms were last week, and my physics grade came out at the beginning of this week. I had a 59% in the class. I am barely failing. So I look at my missing assignments and I'm missing a quiz. I'm assuming it is the quiz that I took, and retook. I'm really starting to get mad, because I took that quiz at the same time as everyone else. Did my teacher lose my quiz? I hope not.

I stayed after yesterday to try to get this all figured out. My teacher says that he hasn't even graded the quizzes, which I don't understand because he put them in the gradebook. Anyways, I hope this all gets figured out real soon because I'm tired of all of this drama, I just want to play some golf and graduate.

Today will be the day that I talk to my coach. According to my physics teacher, she is going to "beat me" today. We'll see how it goes. I already vented to my parents, for the most part, so hopefully I can talk to my coach without getting all worked up, and start bashing on my physics teacher. This whole situation really makes me mad. I'm mostly mad at myself for letting things get this far. Hopefully it'll all work out today, and soon I'll be back on the golf course with the rest of my team! [<3]
