I was proud of my GPA. In High School I would have been proud to have a 3.5. Now I am embarrassed by this like its not enough. Arrggghhhh!!! I feel so unintelligent! It's as if I need some excuse for those A-, and B+ grades. The plus minus system was not my idea and while we are at it neither was translating my 28/30 Italian Exam translating ( Read more... )

life, school

Also a word in +/-. I would not hate it nearly as much if it had been used from the beginning of my degree however, it was only added last fall. So I have a number of Bs which were B+s but never got weight. Implementing the system mid-degree is what has me so mad!

6 words: Rob Roy Kelly and Andy Weed

They fucked up my GPA - hence why if I ever want to go to grad school, I'll have to take some major classes to get a higher GPA - if I'll ever be able to. (this is one of the realizations that have really been making me feel so shitty about myself lately...) I didn't even earn the grad that RRK GAVE me (his word)...and I now wish that I had kept fighting the grade appeal...maybe I would have won the second time around. I learned a lot from that experince, but...I don't know, I'm sick with myself for not keeping up the fight.

And I do agree with your view on the +/- system. i have some classes that didn't get the weight the should have - would have had a few A+'s in there that would have counteracted the two sadistic bastards that were my sophomore graphic design teachers.

At least your fighting and going for your goals...look at me, I stop fighting and stopped going for my goals.
