Took my second chem exam...

.... and threw up right afterwards.
I don't know - I guess I am putting too much pressure on myself to do well in school. I could feel my blood pressure rising and my face and neck was turning beet red during the exam. The sad thing is that I have a B in the class and I have made A's on all of the homework assignments. All I need is a D to pass the course and move on. Same for the corresponding lab.
Is it really that "D is for Diploma"?
Should I be satisfied with a D or a C in chemistry, if it's not a pre-req for any other classes I'm taking?
My wife reminded me that failing a test is not failing the course... but still............................

Do your best and be satisfied with whatever grade that gets you. Not everyone will be able to strongly grasp all the different material they are taught. If you get a D you probably don't want to enter a profession that relies heavily on chemistry. Consider your grades as a guideline for which direction you should concentrate on once you get your degree.
