Grades...

[Glorianna]

I'm pretty uptight about my grades. It's kind of a joke with my friends. I'll be sitting there whining about not feeling prepared for a test and they'll be like "would you shut up already?! We ALL know that you got an A". I'm used to be above average so I think I'm afraid of letting my standards slip.

This describes me exactly!

I'm pretty worked about grades, well maybe not, I just always expect a certain level, I don't spend a lot of time freaking out, because I usually know that what I got is deserved or close to what I want, but in high school I was a straight A student, no in unviersity, and I've got an A-, yes my university is wierd, no GPA things, just percent, so 81% it is.

 

[Glorianna]

Yeah, I have very high expectations for myself. I'm a perfectionist so I always want to get 100% on everything but realize that I can't. That's what really stresses me out sometimes.

Wow! Guess I am not the only one. I will freak half way through the semester and feel like I am going to fail...then I get straight A's. I got a C once and it hurt. Grades are important in college!!!!

Lol, good to see I'm not alone I used to be a real spoiled brat about my grades - in sixth form college I was taking four courses and wanted As in all of them, and couldn't believe I only got 3 As and a B though that was more than enough to get into my university.

These days I still love the feeling of getting a good mark and knowing all the work pays off, but I'm not as neurotic as I was!

I'm still neurotic although my priorities are changing from grades and school to my fiance and my family.

not really this year...but i blame it on senioritis. I hate my math class and always sleep in it so im getting a C-

I too go to school w/ a bunch of "kids" that are happy w/ C's. I went through mid-terms and had one C. By the time finals came I had 4 B's and one A. My GPA is 3.52. Not as good as I would'v liked it, but I'm still happy with it.

So you're not quite as paranoid as some of us.
