Got my midterm back. While I wasn't sure how I did, I was disappointed with my 85.5. Seeing that
jeff_nw once again kicked my ass, I whined, briefly.
Jeff: Oh but with the curve, isn't that an A, anyway?
Me: It's just below. *scowl*
Jeff: *comforting tone* Now, but that's still a good grade.
Me: *smack* Don't patronize me.
Jeff: Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
Me: *snorfled laughter*
Marcia: Am I going to have to separate you two?
Bizarrely, we scored the same on the presentation. Now if that doesn't show grading is arbitrary, I don't know what would. His presentation was definitely far superior to mine. So whatever.
I was particularly annoyed that I missed a few questions on the last page. It was a diagram with faint lines leading to various portions of a design, for identification. Maybe it was the light, my rapidly declining vision or dementia, but I missed a few of the faint lines, and thus didn't answer questions I knew the answers to. Bollocks. Knocked my grade down and I'm rather pissed about that. Oh well.
