3.977
Well, I'm so congested that I can't smell or taste.  My ears haven't popped yet but when they do, it'll be a relief. 

I just got my grade for the class I finished two weeks ago and it's an A-.  That's the first A- I've gotten since...2004.  It also breaks my running 4.0. 

I'm really trying to figure out if I should be upset about that of if, perhaps, it's a good thing.  I mean, I worked really hard for that class like I do for all of my classes but it was not my best seminar paper (though I put a lot of work into it, as well).  I guess I could try to argue it up but is that really necessary?

Is a 3.977 the end of the fucking world?  I mean, I get A's because *I* want them.  I set the standard.  So am I really going to treat an A- like some kind of failure? 

Right now, I don't have the energy to feel much one way or the other.  But when I've mended enough, I want to look back at this post before I go off the deep end.  It's not an F.  It's not a C-, or a B-.  An A is an A is an A.  No one else expects half as much out of me as I do and let's be honest - I don't always give myself a fair shake.

I thought an A was worth 4 points, regardless of where it fell percentile-wise. I'd ask my advisor about it if it was me, but then again I'm in a grouchy mood atm.
