This other exam was a total disaster as well. I don't think I'm going to attend that thing I was planning on attending, these catastrophic exam results are kind of a bad omen, and there was actually a different bad omen months ago: the fires in Southern California. The event was some kind of industry event for insurance for unusual or extraordinary risks and I remember that I recognized some of the industry lingo, and I remember thinking that these companies are Lloyds type companies, but I'm not exactly sure, and I remember the Southern California situation started pretty much the next day after I signed up. I know this is kind of post hoc illogical thinking, but I'm just not going; three bad omens is enough.
I'm not really sure about what to do at this point: this situation kind of increases the probability that I won't complete the program. Things usually don't get easier, and I'm already kind of over-extended, meaning a double-down strategy isn't exactly possible in this case.
Then again, I'm not sure how much I really need to get straight A's. I was thinking that maybe at some point I'd be a stronger candidate for some kind of scholarships or something, but, I don't know it's just totally less and less likely, meaning my costs of attending UNLV are likely to remain elevated, assuming I don't flunk out; in fact I'm surprised being a C student isn't some kind of status symbol, the costs go parabolic at that level.
There is this documentary that I'm watching and the narrator said something that I found slightly encouraging: "This brings us to Francis Marion Smith who headed out west to find gold, he didn't find any, what he found was ulexite."
