Grades

Never in my life have I worried so much about grades as I do this semester. It could have to do with the fact that I am graduating next semester and am in need of having good grades in all of my classes. Today I got a test score back to which I was not so pleasantly surprised with. When the teacher handed it back to me I was talking one on one with him and said something to the effect that it was terrible. He said that I would be find and not to worry. To which I responded that I was trying to get into Grad School and that grade defiantly was not going to help me get there. We made arrangements for me to meed him in his office and discuss it. When we got down to it, if we took the average that I have now and found my grade I would get a C in the class. He then asked what I wanted. I wanted to be realistic. I don't need an A I said, but I don't want a C either. We put out collective minds together and came up with a writing assignment which will serve to make up for some of my lost points. He is happy with it because I am still working for a grade, and I am happy with it because I will get a grade that I can work with.
Also, I have officially received clearance to take one of the three graduate level courses that I was wanting. The irony is that after further thinking about it I had decided to take just one of the three, and the program gave my clearance for the same one. I guess it was meant to be. I am so excited to be quasi starting the program. I love school, I am not sure what I am going to do when I graduate.
