Passing is the important thing, as has been said. I'm sure "C" is for "Cutie".

Maybe it's a cup size thing.

Try look at that grade in a different perspective, Brianna. In relation to what you've learned about yourself, your character, your determination, your intelligence, during the whole university experience, that grade means nothing. And once you use THAT knowledge, in the REAL world, the grade will mean less than zero.

And BTW, I guess a "Happy Birthday" gets worked in somewhere this week. :celebrat:

So what was the subject and what were the criticisms?

Thank You! That is so nice of you to remember! I'm 10 and3/4's!

tw---the paper was on Edgar Allan Poe's The Purloined Letter. I'm having a v. crappy quarter personally and it showed on my paper. My argument was that Dupin was a monster.

the criticisms were that I wasn't focused or logical. big surprise there, huh.

logical? about a poet? focused i could see, but logic? wtf?

The poet doesn't have to be logical but my paper does.

Now you know what not to major in. If you ace everything you'll never know if you made the right decision. Grading on that sort of thing is completely subjective, he lowers your grade because you don't see it his way or agree with his view. I'm betting there's some high power profs that would disagree with him too. They never all agree on anything.

If you did your best, fuck it. If you didn't, do so in the future, lesson learned. That's way more important than any poem...or poet. I'd take your ass over a poem any day. :comfort:

you guys are great...thanks for sharing your stories...makes me feel much better :)

I've an appointment to see this prof tomorrow. What's hard about that is I've a crush on him (a wholly inappropriate crush) makes me feel like this: :eek3: :sick: and :Flush:

If you come back with an A we will be highly suspicious...and we'll want photos and play by play. :)

Thanks, xob. :)

If I know English departments, you failed to work Marx into it.:eek:

Okay, Sean Hannity. :)

Now thats just hurtful. :)
