End of the World

Well, it's the end of the world today. It's the end of the Mayan calendar and all that.  I wish people would stop making these end of the world prophecies. There's one every couple of years, and it never happens, and I never believe it will happen, but I still get nervous.

Well, I got an 86% on the final Psyche assignment.  That leaves me at an 89% average total. That's really annoying. Makes me go over my past and think "If I would have done more Guided Writing Exercise revisions, or did the Human Services midterm partial redo, this could have been avoided." Oh well. Like I said, Presidential Honours is gauged over a year, not a semester, and I don't have Math next semester.

The alphabet-style grades are coming in. Got a B in Math, and an A in English and Psyche. That means I should have straight As in everything except Math. That's no terrible. I always thought the grading system would be like 90-100=A, 80-90=B, 70-80=C, 50-70=D, 0-50=F.

But no, apparently a 72 is a B and an 86 is an A.

Apparently my program gives a $500 cheque for a randomly selected student with an average over 80% every month.  I've never gotten this, and none of the people I know with averages over 80% have ever gotten it. Who's getting this money, and why don't they tell anyone?!
