The context of the following conversation is Alex never looked at her paper after she wrote it and it got a really bad grade.:
Alex says I feel like such an idiot for how bad of a situation I have myself in with class..
The friend responds Why? What is going on? Did you not finish the paper?.
Alex responds No. I wrote it, but I didn't proofread it and I ended up failing..
The friend responds That sucks. Maybe you could ask about extra credit?.
Alex responds I don't know I am thinking I need to do something so I don't fail the entire course..
The friend responds I would just ask the teacher what you can do to try to turn it around..
