I'm failing calculus, already. *heavy sigh*

I never found much use for it myself. I daresay that should you fail it will be no great loss.

Unfortunately, I need this class to graduate.

I suggest getting a tutor.

I could, but the ones my mum usually hire, just care about the money.

Then hire one yourself.

Know anyone who's ridiculously good at calculus?

I'm quite good at most subjects, however it would probably be to your advantage to talk to your classmates, get assistance from one of them.

Alright, but if that fails, I'm coming to you for help. If you don't mind, or anything.

Fine.

Is this university calculus or high school?

High school.

Then why not speak to your instructor?

He’s intimidating. I know it's a stupid excuse, but he's the biggest asshole I've ever met.

I know this will be shocking, but.. He doesn't want you to fail. You failing reflects poorly on him. So, ask for help, rather than just accepting that you're going to fail and making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

That's a good point. I'll talk to him on Monday during class. Thanks for the advice.

Talk to him before school if you can, so you're not using the class time he needs to teach. Or ask him during class when you can meet with him for further help.
