I got a "C"
 

I got my thesis paper back today. I got a "C." I know, I know; there are bigger problems that deserve your attention and in the scheme of things this means nothing...but I feel v. sad and depressed. I've NEVER gotten a "C" before. I've gotten all A's for the past 5 quarters. You all know I've no self esteem and that I'm trying to prove something to someone who doesn't even care anymore...which is why it hurts so much. Like anyone cares.

Getting a "C" is horrid to me. I'm so ashamed of myself because I DESERVED it.

Just needed a shoulder. Thanks. :sniff:

Was that from the ignoring-you guy?

welll......he WAS ignoring me at the first but then he got rather friendly (checking out my ass and grinning, etc) and I want to please 'Daddy'--whomever that may be at the time--and getting a "C" in his class is like I was caught sucking off the local gas station attendant in the filthy men's room.




Totally NO OFFENSE meant to our many gas-station attendants.

I know you're disappointed, but think about it. You've been doing A work all this time, and the worst you can muster is one average grade? Not too shabby, Bri.

Hell, when I was in school I was on the dean's list. The dean's OTHER list! :)

You should hold your head up for being so smart and dedicated.

We tend to beat ourselves up over this sort of thing more than anyone else ever would. Try to take it easy on yourself. You shouldn't feel shame for a "C."

Sorry, Bri...I feel your pain. I started putting together my thesis yesterday (with a presentation and paper due June 14).

On the bright side, you passed, right?

I feel for you. That sucks.

When you're ready to look on the bright side, it's that one C which makes all the As in life meaningful. And it's not even a failure, just an average. Fate is saving your below average grade for another experience -maybe that gas station attendant..... :worried:

And if you were doing it to impress/prove a point to someone who's gone/doesn't matter any more, that means you're now doing it to impress the one person who really does matter and who will always be there -you. So it's all good. Been there, done that, have a PhD. :D

Good on you, Bri, for sticking with it.

If it makes you feel better, remember...

"C is for cookie. That's good enough for me!".


:D

I'll see your C and raise you 3 years worth of nothing but Cs. I've still got an F, two Ds, and a semester full of Ws in my bankroll. :dunce:

I graduated with a 2.9x GPA (I think I got some As there in the last 2.5 years). And to think, if I had it to do all over again I wouldn't have even gone. :hide:

Consider it incentive to do better ... how's your overall class grade?

I'll see your "C" and raise you an "F" in Russian II. Dungeons and Dragons was far more fascinating than grammar.

You must not really think all that much of this prof if you only got a C whilst trying to impress him. you said yourself that you knew it rated a C. at least this guy was honest with his grade.

it hurts? rub some dirt on it, nancy. now get back out there and hit somebody!

I failed my very first college class. It was English 101 at a small college that took a lot of pride in its English Department. They wanted to send a message with a very strict grading policy.

I hated that grade but I think I write better now because of that smack upside the head. That was 30 years ago and I remember it like it was two hours ago.

Don't let it bother you. Use it to motivate yourself.

Embrace your C and keep moving on! Do your best and let the chips fall.

But he was checking out your arse and thinks your smoking hot, right??


Pfffff to the C!!!!

He succumbed to you and you werent even trying, thats an A in my books :D

Sorry luvie, not making light of your C....5 quarters of A is friggen awesome and I can see that you would be disappointed with the grade. (offering cyber shoulder here)

I know it's cold comfort, but as long as you passed and get your degree, nobody will care what grade you got in five years. (Go ahead, ask me how many potential employers swooned over the magna cum laude or the phi beta kappa key.)
