Grades...

Grades, actually, GPAs drive me nuts. I hate how so much is hinged on them, and I hate being a perfectionist. I hate being disappointed because I don't make the grades I want. The thing is, on average, I'm not doing too shabby. My grades aren't bad, but they aren't as good as I think I should be getting. I feel like I'm letting myself down by not doing as well as I wanted. But, like I said, my grades aren't bad. As of right now, Here are the final grades I've gotten:

English: A
Chemistry: A-
Media Criticism: B+ (I think)

These aren't bad. With these grades I have a semester GPA of a 3.667 and a cumulative GPA of 3.787. That's not bad, but I feel like I could have done better. I feel like somehow I slacked off and that's why these grades aren't all A's. I forget that this isn't high school anymore. I forget that they don't round grades in college like they did in high school. Believe me, there was an outrageous amount of rounding and curving in high school. Plus, in high school, you can get a GPA greater than 4.0. And, GPA isn't that big of a deal in high school as it seems to be here. Your academic eligibility hinges on your GPA. It's maddening. Especially for perfectionist who push for all A's. Classes here aren't easy.

I just wish I could do better...
