Oh my gooooooooosh. I can't believe I got a D+ in Religion. My exam grades in that class were poor, true, but I participated in class, I did the homework, and I understood just about everything he taught....*cries* I can't tell my mom my grades.... I don't know what to do.

Well I'm not in college, so I don't know much about the grading system, but from what I've heard, if you mess up the final, you mess up everything or something like that.
But try to think about it this way:
First, you passed. That's the most important thing. Whether it's a D- or an A+, passing is passing and you PASSED the class. So you get credit and don't have to worry about it ever again. Second, in the grand scheme of things, just how important is getting a good grade in Japanese Religions? Not very. Try seeing the big picture, you won't even remember the class five years from now, so don't fret too much about it. Finally, your finished with your first year of college and survived! Be happy! I still have four more weeks to go. (Groan)
As for telling you mom, well. I'm not sure. Technically since your over 18 you don't HAVE to legally tell her, but you probably will anyway. I guess the truth is probably the best way to go. Good luck with that.
Oh and I don't have any fancy shmancy invitations but it'd be great if you and the rest of the gang could come to SSM graduation. I hope I can see you there! :)
I second Roz, you passed the class. That's great. I know it seems unfair that you did all the work and understood what is going on, but unfortunately, exams amount to about 70% of the final grade at least at my school. Your GPA will probably go up next semester. :)
You know what you have to do to change your grades if you want to. Everyone else can say what they want, but what grades really boil down to is the effort you put forth, not necessarily knowledge of the material. You could be the sum total of all knowledge in the universe but still fail if you don't have the motivation to apply, practice, and memorize what you need to know for the tests. That's what I learned from our old high school. All that being said, I still know you have the potential to do well in your classes, and I'll be by your side to cheer you on and even help you study if you want me to. But what's done is done. Don't let this ruin your summer. You can tackle it when you come back for more next year.
