Aw cmon Spaz, one bad grade does not a failure make. Did you explain to your prof that your group was nowhere to be found and you did all the work yourself? It really works, I've had to do it before. I took a website design course several years ago and we were broken up into groups and given the assignment of putting together websites for actual companies that needed them. I spent 12 hours a day on that friggin thing for 6 weeks, and one of the other team members, who had a toddler and was pregnant again, did that too, as much as she could. The third team member did diddly-squat. She never showed up for meetings, she never did a lick of work, she just showed up in the lab the night before to see what Linda and I had done.

Anyway, it was supposed to be a group grade, but Linda and I told the professor about this other person's complete nonparticipation. Linda and I got A's. The other chick got a well deserved F.

Really. Professors have your best interests at heart. (I know. I am one. :-) Just talk to him/her and see what you can do.

In the meantime, take a few deep breaths and tell yourself it's not the end of the world, because it isn't. Honest and truly. I promise. (And I have 2 degrees, so I've been through this a lot. :-)

Hugs,
