::half-assed confetti launch::

I got my grades from this semester in. First semester as a rock doc-in-training.

Yay, I guess. Half of me was expecting it, since I could never quite keep pace with the rest of my classmates in this one class, but the other half was expecting some kind of miracle to bump that B+ into an A- somehow.

My GPA is still an A (barely), but I can't help but resort to the 9-year-old who was sent to her room for 20 minutes because of a B. I wouldn't even be able to tell my Dad, because he'd be all "What happened?" and probably bop me upside the head in a facetious manner (which I'd totally take the wrong way).

So, I should probably be all...

  • I'd feel bad for you but a B+ is an awesome grade and you should be proud of it.

     

    Since you're not going to be, and you'll be all mopey, here's something to cheer you up.

  • You are seriously that girl from high school who moped and said she "failed," when in reality she got a better grade than anyone in the class.

    But really, good job. It must be nice to have the first semester under your belt.


  • I wuv you guys. ::sheepish grin::

  • Well, they don't print your GPA on your degree, AND, AND, AAAAND they don't even acknowledge your GPA at all, in any sort of way, during the graduation ceremony, unless you are an undergrad. <- can you see my bitter pants after getting my PhD with a 4.0

    So while I would encourage you to try to keep your GPA as high as possible, I wouldn't look down on you for a B+. You should be all sort of high fiving yourself and resting up for next semester.

    Here a high five from me because YOU EARNED IT.
