OMG! My brain is freakin' fried!!

The good news (if you can call it that) is that I B'ed Econ and I think I did okay on part 1 of the math final. My GPA is shattered. Bye-bye 3.9, thank you, Mr. Chen. Believe it or not, it's possible that I may A out in Psych (yep, the same class I've been whining about for the last 16 weeks) and in Accounting 201 (1 percent shy with one assignment & a final to help pull that up to an A). I want to publicly thank DavidReedy for helping me comprehend the psych article's terminology (it had been translated from French and there was a word used that is nonexistent in American dictionaries). The story helped tremendously. I B'ed that paper, btw, David, THANK YOU. Now, about my brain being fried. I cannot comprehend diddly right now, there is no intelligence left in me today. I've been stressing on Mr. Chen's class since Thursday, which helped, believe it or not. I got mad enough to decide that the class would not beat me. He seems like a really nice man, as long as the females in his class are seen and not heard. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a women's libber, but do believe both sexes deserve to be spoken to with respect, etc. I was a bit stressed over the Econ final, who wouldn't be, but it wasn't bad. I got lucky and ran into my prof, Mr. Outland, who is a great guy. He decided to mess with me and tell me that I got a D. I know I would have had to literally flunk that final with a 40% or lower to pull that off, so I was like "NOWAY!" And he laughed hysterically and said "had ya going for a second, no, you got a B." Last semester (and the 2 before that) would have really set me off, but since spending a semester with Mr. Chen, I've learned that B's aren't so bad--they sure beat a friggin' F, anyway. 3 finals down, 2 to go. *figuring new tentative GPA* Ok, I guess it's not so bad. Even if I can only manage B's in psych & accounting, I'll still have a 3.625, which keeps me in Phi Theta Kappa and IAAP. Whew. My brain's still fried, but I am feeling somewhat better now. Thank you, myLot for giving me a place to vent. So, now for the discussion questions: Do you experience test anxiety (or did you if you're done with this college business), and if so, how do/did you deal with it? and Do you think it is fair to put things on tests that have not being covered by either the class sessions or the textbook?
