GRADES!!!

I just looked up my grades for last semester and I did better than I thought. I got all Bs with As in Religion and English 291(early British Literature). From all the trouble and stress I had this semester, I really thought I would end up with at least one C, so YAY. Bs are above average.

But really, grades need to be done away with all together. They have become so inflated and mean different things to different teachers. I mean I have gotten As in classes that I got Bs in doing the same amount of work in a different class. My B in Shakespeare means so much more to me than the A in Eng 291. There is no good way to judge how much people have worked or learned to earn a grade.

  2. okay. i don't think they're total shit, but i don't think they're always an accurate representation of how much you learned in a class.
