Sorry to hear it, Lighthawk. Our thoughts are with you and your fiancee.
And it's very common to think you flunked a test which you actually did well on. Don't give up just yet.

From personal experience I can safely confirm this statement to be true.

Oh I know, but I have extra reason to think so...I had to leave several problems blank from forgetting the stupid formula needed to solve it. I'm thinking Trig might have been a bad choice for my first math class in 5 years.

Uh, you mean "rounding" as in "1.87 becomes rounded to 1.9"?

Wow, that's sad... Um... did the kids take any previous math classes. Did any of them not know how to round?

I am so sorry... I'm taking Elementary Math by the way. (Or more correctly, math for those who want to be elementary school teachers). I guess since I am a Secondary Ed/History major the Elementary Math fulfills our math requirement. Now I'm off to the most boring subject I have, "Philosophy of Science," which would probably be interesting except for the fact that I have the Kindly-Old-Man professor, the one whom you feel guilty that you're not paying attention to because he really is trying to teach and make it interesting, and yet you can't help drifting off anyway.... and it's one of my only Hour and a Half classes...
