On the high Cs

Last night I found out that I’ve earned my lowest grade ever — a C+ in Real Estate Transactions.

On the one hand, it encourages me to try harder this semester, because last fall I really didn’t study too hard until the bitter end. On the other hand, I don’t feel too bad, because the exam was based primarily on something we spent about five minutes discussing in one class.

And the guys at work reminded me that it could always be worse; I could have failed and had to take the class over again!

It makes me think back to the story about a Chinese farmer that the dean of students (who happened to also teach this class) told us when we started law school. So I got a C+. Good news. Bad news. Who’s to say?
