Today, I went to class to take an important final for which I studied all week long and worked hard in class. Today, the teacher also told us that anyone who had an A did not have to take the final. I missed out on a trip to the Bahamas for this. FML

callalilley tells us more.

Hey guys! OP here! It stunk not going on vacation. From the beginning, we ALL thought we had to take the final. In the syllabus it said it was worth 30% of our grade. He's a new professor and this is a psychology class. I guess some type of experiment??? I was so mad, but I still have a 3.8 GPA to prove for it!!!

My mom always said good grades are their own reward. But then again, she has never been to the Bahamas.

Ouch op. Atleast you know you're smart enough! I think some people would give up a trip to get an A.

At least you made the most of your education

cheer up, maybe you'll get a better grade this time, and you can go to the Bahamas with your friends when you all get As together :)

Wow that sucks op but at least it proves that you are smart

Trust me OP, you're not missing a whole lot

Half of the battles in life are won just by showing up my friend You will go far in life due to your work ethic and self discipline. Just not the Bahamas, during Finals week....

Would have been nice if the teacher had told everyone that in advance

Your teacher messed up not telling you or that you must not of been listening when she said it. At least you know the material better from all that studying.

It sucks, but I'm glad that you're looking at the bright side. Also, good job at getting reply #69

I bet he wanted to ensure you knew the material (studying to memorize it) but thought if you were vigilant enough to maintain a high grade, you probably knew it well enough while under the impression you had a final to take on it.

congradulations for getting an A in that class but sucks about missing your trip.
