| Got a "B" in one of my grad school classes... |
|
feeling bummed. told my friends, but they did not pity me enough, nor did they allow me to truly wallow in my misery, so I am cyber-wallowing :)
no wait... I am sad, so... ;(

You will be amazed how little your GPA means. Its all about you.

| 2. yes.. I am trying to keep it all in perspective... |
|
For example, today I totally bashed my toe on my office chair, and it really hurt. In relation to this event, the grade seemed irrelevant. Now that the toe has healed, however....

I have yet to have anyone ever ask my GPA they more or less want to know if you graduated.

so true... trying not to be bummed. Trying to get into the PhD program, and a little nervous about the B, but reminding myself that one B does not a admissions rejection make...

| 6. Perhaps they didn't let you wallow in your misery because they saw through |

your not-so-very-subtle attempt to show off.
As for me, this semester I had an ongoing personal crisis and psychologically imploded, and thus failed all of my courses. I've gone from an Honors student to a dropout and I don't know what the hell to do next. So cry me a fucking river. I would literally give anything to be in your position.
On edit: I only mention my situation for perspective, not sympathy.

They give out a's now like bush gives out medals.
Did you curse the professor's dead mother?
