Déjà vu
I had the most horrific dream a few nights ago...I finally looked at my grades from last semester, and they were all C's! Not even a single C+ but straight C's. I'd even gotten a C in my Pitzer hum class! And for some reason a C was only worth 1.0 GPA points instead of 2.0, so my cumulative GPA had fallen to about 1.5. I was horrified, and in the dream I decided I was going to sit down with the dean of academic affairs and bluntly tell him to convince me why I shouldn't transfer, because I was trying as hard as I possibly could and achieving a level of familiarity with 95% of the material in each of my courses that I would prefer to reserve for a romantic relationship, and I *still* felt like I had almost nothing to show for it (or at least nothing that most grad schools wouldn't turn their up their noses at). This wouldn't have bothered my quite as much as it did, except that it was the second time I dreamed I needed to ask the dean of academic affairs to convince me not to transfer to a school with a grading system more that of my high school, just so I could prevent my self esteem from finally deciding to go through with jumping off that cliff.
Needless to say I was more than relieved to find that it was just a dream when I woke up, and following tradition I still haven't looked at my grades from last semester.
