April 11, 200322 yr As many of you have have prolly noticed, i have been a very bitter, rather whiny person over the past few weeks. As a matter of fact i have a suspicion almost all the TA regulars have muted me on voice com. Things werent helped by the release of 2.7 which threw out all my meticulously accquired skill with its "weapon balances". Even worse that everyone can use the SAW to give haircuts even though my tests have indicated it has less accuracy than the bizon. I digress. There are a number of reasons why i have been in a horrible mood lately, including school, girls (or lack thereof ), my own sad insecure life, and colleges. I expect things may have to get worse until they get better and as such i apologize in advance for any future malcontent and brooding darkness. Things werent helped when i got my report card today only to find that someone in the english department played a cruel trick on me. I had been told i was getting a A, HA!, i found a B+ in the spot for AP Language/Comp today, lower than even my previous marking period's grades. Since my parents are the most anal retentive ppl in the world on the subject of my grades, there will be hell to pay when i get home. The most ironic part is that i was expecting straight A's this marking period for the first time in 5 years only to find that english was down to a B+ and cisco and MCSE classes were down to A-'s. This may not sound like such a terrible thing to some of you but my parents have told me before that they know i am capable of straight A's and so the pressure is a lot higher than for others. Of course grades are really the most impersonal of my problems and the only one im really willing to share. So there we go, thats a small part of why i have been an ass of late. Hope i can go back to being happy again soon

April 11, 200322 yr If all you got was a "B", then I would not sweat the small stuff. There is always the next quarter (Semester) to make it up. I won't tell you what my grades were in the past, but I can tell you that I was happy when I received an "A". You are obviously working towards a degree or preparing for college. For the record, and reality, when you Finnish college and begin to seek employment, all your employer wants to know is what type of type degree you received, if any, and not how many A's or B's you received on a report card...because they could care less.So Flak...cheer the hell up

April 11, 200322 yr Ahh...you guys are to young to know. I once felt the same as you, but when I got a little older, I found all the things I experienced as a youngin were really nothing. Once you get older, you will find that things really are not what you thought they were. Just hang in there and keep your spirits high.

April 11, 200322 yr I'm sorry flak, But I'm sitting here laughing like a muddah faddah right now. "Oh dear! I got a B+!" Dude... I've got the potential to rack up A's all over my report card, but for like 5 years I've been getting C's and low B's. Why? Well... I do about 30% of my homework usually... which would usually be enough to fail me, but I'm smarter than my bunghole teachers think, so I Ace the test. But our screwed up point system sucks. My grades are hacked down, because I dont want to go home and teach MYSELF something that I've already learned. Tests should count a lot more than hmwk does.... your supposed to get gradfes based on what you learn/know... and not so much on how hard you try/how much time you waste.Anyways Flak... there's always next semester. A B+ wont kill you. But you know what will make that B+ even worse? A girl. lol! I laugh, but it's the truth. You'll get by dude.

April 11, 200322 yr I don't know what I'd do if I had parents like yours, Flak.My mom is happy with anything over 60%, and really happy when I get 70s. When I was in grade 8, I was really bad in math, but I got my mark up really good (in a lot of my courses as well), but the hardest was math, I got it into the mid to high 70s I *think* it was, because I did so well (and on my exam, I think I got 82% (amazing because in Grade 7 #1 (#1 referring to my 1st attempt at grade 7) I got 12% on my math exam)).Anyway, since I did so well, my dad gave me a check for $200. I was like, "awesome", it was nice. So I went a bought a 1972 Led Zeppelin EP printed in Japan for $150 ! Hooah !!I wish I could get B+s

April 12, 200322 yr Author My parents are very good ppl but they expect a lot from me. As it is they are mildly upset with my grades. They are so active in my academic life that i dont have the luxury of saying "there is always next marking period". Believe me, if i could i would shrug this off and try to improve next time, but i cant. So malakian, im not trying to be a stuck up ass here, i genuinely HAVE to be concerned about my grades to this point, there is apparently a big difference between an A and an A- Even more so with a B+
