I just got back from my art exam, wasn't too bad, I'm
thinking I got in the B range. (good enough for me)

I got a motherfucking C+ on my Comparative Politics Final.

Mother fucker that was the worst class ever, I better end up
with a B in that class or I'm taking up Anus' idea.

btw, you have a really funny grading system in states...
over here we use marks from 1-5 untill university
and 1-10 at university - which is also pretty stupid...if
you get anything between 1-5 you dont pass, must be six or
better, what is bad about it is that not only you get to
know you didnt pass but you also get to know that you'll
have to study 100 % more if you get an 2 or even 1 heh

it's on the fucking oil and gas industry in the former
Soviet Union man... seriously, I cannot imagine anything
more boring... and it's really fun when you're doing
research on countries whose names you can't even pronounce!!

in Newfoundland we get percentage marks like normal... so if
an A is 80% and higher... they uesd to round up and down, so
if you got a 83 they would round it to 85, and 82 would go
down to 80... but now we get what we get...

that's a pretty unprecise rounding scheme they had goin
overthere... it seems to make more sense to only round up a
few points to a higher grade, but rounding down is harsh =/

and because I have it done for school, and my supervisor has
already completed my evaluation, I find it extremely hard to
do more work on it for my employer... only one more week to
go, and after working on this shit for almost 3 months, I'm
so fet up and just don't want to do anything else with it...


by the way, the 150 pages includes the cover pages,
appendices and stuff... but the body of the report is still
100 pages or so... still pretty big... the biggest report
I've ever done!

yeah, well you'd never know if your mark was rounded up or
down, cause all you'd get is the 80, 75, or whatever... now,
like I said, they just give you the exact mark you earned...
and it kind of sucked last semester cause with the rounding,
basicall all my marks would've gone up I think! :)

Oh hehe, that sucks :D

I like it when teachers grade on a curve, thats always nice.

still though, I think the most thorough report I've ever had
to do was 10 pages or so... So you're ten times the man for
doing 100!

you should get what you deserve in my opinion... all this
rounding, and grading on a curve, is stupid... if I earn an
86, I want an 86, not an 85... and the curve grading, well
it's nice if your mark goes up... but it's still stupid...
you should get what you get...

like last semester I think I got a 69 in economics... with
the rounding it would've been a 70, but I earned and
deserved my 69, cause I didn't do shit in the course! :)

actually I probably deserved less then a 69... still don't
know how I pulled that off... :)
