The curve

Well, I got my grade back for my physio psych test, and it was a little disappointing. I got a 78. I really thought that got at least a B, and it was close, but I could've done better. However, the class average was a 58.7. It just really made me sad for the other students, and a bit angry that they are apparently not trying and just screwing themselves. So today I went to campus with Nathan because there was this big graduation sale and I needed my cap and gown, and announcements and stuff (aw damn). While I was on campus I went by Dr. H's office to ask what the highest grade in the class was. (What can I say, I was hopeful.) She said that it was a 78. Apparently me and one other guy got the same grade. I was thrilled for me, but kinda sick for the rest of the class. The highest grade was a C! That's retarded! So I sat in her office and we discussed possible things to do to help the rest of the class out. It was awesome. We collaborated! Kick ass. And then we just talked about other stuff, like what my plans were after school and stuff like that. It was fun! I'm gonna have to check out the geriatric unit, cause she mentioned it to me again, as a place I could work until I have a higher degree. I love Dr. H

So, now I have two 100s (after the curve) If I can set the curve on the rest of the test I can actually get my B for the class. After my screw up, my only hope in getting a B was if I get 100s on everything else. I didn't think it was possible before, but now I'm beginning to hope. This is crazy, but I love this class! It's such an exciting struggle! I collaborated with my mentor!

I think that's what she is. I've only ever had her in on other class, but, in a certain way she inspires me. When I'm having my little pipe dreams about astounding my colleagues at an APA convention with my brilliance, (American Psychological Association, for those who don't know) she's always in them, nudging an elbow, pointing at me and saying, "She was my student you know." God I hope she never reads this.
