Midterm

Again my next post..
I just checked out my midterm grade. I guess i was too complacent with my summer classes where i made a 3.57 GPA. Well for this term, it was not that bad either because it depends primarily on the instructor. Like in my case, i am not that lucky because of the stringent marking scheme. What i mean is there is no curve given to any class taking the same subject under the same instructor. Say the standard mark to get A is 90, but then i made an 89.99 for engineering math, its still a B. Plus, A-,B-, or C- is not a tradition here in this school. I am not pretty sure about the grading system in local schools, except for UTM for i was there for a semester. They standardize their A grade for 85 and above. But still they do have A-,B- and C- and even curve given to certain subjects. When the grading system is way too tough, there should be no place left for complacency. You and I have to have a nerdy method where many times we have to forgo parties and become sleep deprived. But anyway, i still do feel good for some reasons. Even though i did not get all things as i have expected it to be, so far i am comparatively way above those white. And now, i have only two months left to accomplish my short term daredevil mission that is to bring 3.5 GPA home.
