I am stoked. I am exhilarated. I’m shocked. I pulled it out. I got an A in my class.
While I had resolved myself to surviving with a B. I was
upset because of my experience on the midterm. It was unfair. I expressed my
concern. I kicked and screamed.
Nothing changed. So I accepted what I couldn't change, and I kept
working. Grade be damned, I wasn't changing my approach. I figured, if I’m getting B, I’m gonna show –prove even if only to myself, that the midterm was wrong, and destroy every
other assignment I was given.
So I kept working at it. The final was considerably harder
than the midterm. I scored an A on the final, and didn't miss a single
point on the other two assignments. I
fully expected to walk away with a B, but I pulled it out. I still can’t
believe it.
I signed out of campus web and signed back in web to make
sure there wasn't a mistake. It was
still there. The A.
It wasn't pretty. It wasn't easy, hell it was damn ugly… But
I’ll take it…

Sounds like a solid win to me.

I used to do the sign out sign back in thing in law school, and I also made sure to print that screen too. Just in case they want to fuck with you later, you've got a hard copy!

Congrats man, well deserved!!
Awesome! Congratulations!
Reading this puts me right back in grad school - the sick feeling you get when you go to check grades, the never-ending "push-on and muddle-through" attitude, the way it never seems to go smoothly to get that outcome. Man, it's rough -- nice job! I promise you -- it gets easier the moment you're done!!!
