NO -taker

i thought that a note-taker in class meant that he would take legible notes for me about the class discussions, seeing as i have spasms in my hand sometimes when i write with my strong hand and slower when i write with my right hand (the right side is more legible, the left side of my brain was injured the most in the car accident, which slowed down the right side of my body). ANYWAY, nope, the "note-taker" was late to class and he didn't even bother taking notes for the classtime that he was there. man, he acts like he does this just for fun and he acts like it doesn't really matter to him. i can tell just by his scribbly handwriting, he's not even putting any effort into helping me out with notes. he's too proud for that. he's just doing it to make himself look good in front of the professors. i've tried telling the professor that i would like him to take better notes but she just shrugs her shoulders and puts it off, telling me that i need to tell the notetaker that i want better notes and i HAVE, i'll just fail all of my classes. the professor of my "technology in the 21st century" class gave me a bad grade on my paper, then ended up telling me that i could re-write it, so i'm pretty sure that i'm gonna have a tutor help me do that next tuesdsay or else take my grade and run, but why shouldn't i take the opportunity at a better grade since he's willing to give me a shot at it?
