I appear to have breezed through another rigorous final exam. This time, it's my statistics final. It was a piece of cake. If all goes well, then I have either a very high C or a very low B. If it's a B, then I have at least a 3.5 GPA right now. If it's a C, then it's about 3.0.

It sounds like you're successful in school. I just finished two upper division psych finals. I'm glad to be done with the quarter.

i had to think a bit before i understood what you mean...

see... this is confusing if you don't understand that system. it's not logical...

either a very high C or a very low B

the alphabet goes like this: A B C etc

A is "lower" than B

a low A must be the lowest...

so... low A - A - high A - low B - B - high B - low C - C - high C ....

the distance between low B and high C is "a lot"... ;-)

but i found out it goes like this:

A is high!! !

high A - A - low A - high B - B - low B - high C - C - low C ! ! :-)

now it makes "sense" - even it's not logical.

Also, keep in mind that I still have one more final exam (in urban geography) on Tuesday the 16th, and that was a very easy course.

Beginning next semester, it will be downhill from there on out.

I beleive C are 2.0 and B are 3.0.
By Mason's Standards
D= 1.0
D+= 1.33
C-= 1.67
C= 2.0
C+= 2.33
B-= 2.67
B= 3.0
B+= 3.33
A-= 3.67
A= 4.0
A+ = 4.0 or higher based off the professor's grading system
