I'm Afraid to Check My eMail

I made a 69 in my Grammar class. One Point!? I need to go and talk to him to see if he missed a point or two on the homework, and go over my test, to make sure that there isn't anything he counted off for that he shouldn't have. I eMailed my professor yesterday. I am SO SCARED that he has possibly responded to my eMail. It's silly right? All that this can do is help and yet I get a knot in my stomach every time I think about going up there. This is the same reason I went to Kerri for help instead of the teacher, I'm so intimidated, and I just know that he's going to make me feel like shit about it. I don't even know if I am smart enough to find something that might get me that extra point. I improved a TON though, I had a 64 on the first test and an 88 on the second, which was harder. Is that not worth ONE MORE POINT?? I will not grade like this when I am a teacher. Maybe I didn't finish all of my homeworks, but I didn't think that I COULD. Kerri's the one who pointed out to me that I knew all of the stuff just didn't realize it. Which was a relief after all of the notes I'd taken. I have to check it today, but I am scared silly about it, it just might even ruin my day. Should I take such a big risk so early in the day? We shall see..

I checked, and all seems well. No word from Underwood. Now the question arises - how long do I give him before I start to get pushy? It makes me wonder if he checks his email at all. I emailed him after taking my test to tell him what I meant by the word "statement" in a couple of sentences I wrote so that he would not deduct points for it (it was unclear). Maybe he never checked it and I could get those points and pass! I hope there is something, I haven't failed anything at UT before, and I really didn't want to. I may not want to stay at UT, but I do not want to humiliate myself while I'm here.
