Hmf.

It's almost time to jettison this high school life.

I went to Sting last night.

Sweet! He was always one of my favorite wrestlers!


(sarcasm)

Was it a good show?

Yup.

My mom would be supremely jealous.

ack! I woke up this mornin with a bloody nose!

i woke up this morning with a class in my face

so a class is worse then?>

i woke up this morning in a cold sweat because i dreamt that i got my coleridge paper back and it was a C-. is a C- even a grade? or does it go straight to D at that point?

Isn't a C- between 60 and 63%?

idk, maybe at your school, but mcgill apparently doesn't have a C-. we go straight from a C (55-59) to a D (50-54).

We have Cs here. I'm probably gonna get one this semester too.

Oh crap, I forgot about the Coleridge paper. Stop reminding me!

Also I can't decide whether McGill's ridiculously wide B range is a good thing or a bad thing.

At my university we had grades as follows (and hopefully Alex can help with greek letters since I'm too lazy to find them myself!)

Alpha plus (though no-one ever got that - my tutor described it as the grade you'd give to god!)
Alpha (no-one got that either - same tutor described it as 'the grade you'd give yourself')
Alpha minus (I got 2 of those ever. They made me very happy)
Alpha double-minus
Alpha-Beta
Beta-Alpha
Beta double-plus
Beta plus
Beta
Beta minus
Beta double-minus
Beta-gamma
Gamma-Beta
Gamma double-plus
Gamma plus
Gamma
Gamma minus
Gamma minus-minus

I'm not even sure those last few even exist, but maybe they do!

To get a 1st you had to average beta-alpha or better
To get a 2:1 you had to average beta-plus or better
And I can't remember what you had to get for a 2:2 or a 3rd.

Oops. I forgot to say that most of the time the tutors wouldn't let themselves be restrained to just those marks. You could very easily get something like:

beta triple plus ? plus ? alpha

gahhh it's not good having to write out the letter names

i don't see why everyone can't just use percentages...

today i went to class. Im in it now.


RCTC is having a meeting about UMD actually seeing if digital arts students are serious about wanting a BFA degree in Graphic Design, and or multimedia at this campus

im so missing work for this

Then i wouldnt have to move to minneapolis.

I think I'd get a gamma minus if you tested me on the scoring system alone

Hmm...

it almost makes sense except for the lack of an A ++

in conclusion,

AAAAAAAARRRRRGHHH!

FUCK YOU WWE!

I hope you go fucking bankrupt, you jackasses.

Troubles?
