I hope, for your sake, that it is - and that you get a 4.0!

Not necessarily. My university offered an option called FX. If you failed a class, you filled out a form in the registrar's office when you re-took the class, your original F went away and the new grade took it's place. I had a dormmate who did this and just one class raised her GPA significantly. She failed the class first semester freshman year. It was a math class that she should not have been placed in during registration. Second semester she took the course before it to bring her skills up to speed and then first summer session she re-took the original math class and earned a B+. With so few credit hours, it does make a BIG difference in your GPA. This may be what the OP is doing with one or two courses.
