This isn't anything at all bad about the forum, I just kind of need to vent. And I know that people have been dealing with much more serious things lately, such as death or depression, but this is something really important to me, and I just need to let this out.
I'm 19 right now, and I am going to be a junior at Loyola Marymount university in Santa Monica, CA. For those of you that had never heard of this place before, it's a very good school, but its also about $30k a year. And while my family makes decent money, we have a lot of loans to pay off, and we can use every bit of financial aid the school gives me.
The school only gave me one thing, and that was a scholarship for $5,000 a year, the only requirement being that I maintain a 3.0 each semester.
I just finished my finals last Friday, and I figured at worst, I had 3.0, and at best, maybe a 3.4. My normal range...now I just saw the grades for 4 of my 5 classes. Two of the classes I thought I got A's in I got B+'s, and in 2 classes I thought I had B's in I got a C+ and a C. No matter what my grade is in the last class, the highest my GPA can be now is a 2.9. So basically, I lost my scholarship. I don't know how I'm going to tell my parents, and I'm just really disappointed in myself and my teachers right now. We're really tight on money right now, so I really screwed up....this is the worst possible situation that could have happened gradewise.
I read these grades 5 minutes ago. And I'm in total shock right now...I didn't mean to [censored] and moan, but i really didn't know where else to turn. Like I said, I know there are things a lot more important, like what's been going on with other CEG'ers lately, but I just screwed up bad...
