cornerofmadnessHere's the first little bit of it. I got my grades back. I am so not happy with them. You've already heard about the incomplete that I'm fuming over. I ended up with a 3.0. I hate being so damn average (especially since I had a 4.0 last semester).
This semester was such a bitch. I had all A's on my community college curriculum tests so either I bombed the final (highly doubtful, it was open book after all) or despite rewriting the paper three times I ended up still getting a lower grade than I'm accustomed too on it. It's also a good learning experience for when I'm teaching. I hate turning in a paper at the end of the semester. You never get it back and you have no idea how you did. So I ended up with a B in this class.
Now I thought I was doing really good in the bio lab prep class. It's an undergrad class after all. I'm just taking it because hell half these techniques didn't exist when I was an undergrad back in the 80's. I thought I did well (despite a little ugliness in one of my DNA gels. And I was best at the proteins). I turned in my lab reports a head of time and changed them according to professor feedback. I was confident I got the A. I got a B instead and I'm not sure why. Maybe they listened to me seriously when I graded myself and I graded myself HARD on the math parts. Sigh.
3.0, how pathetic of me. (and watch a half dozen people yell at me for considering that score bad. I have terribly high standards for myself).
