Grades were posted!

So I thought I had a 3.2 GPA and that's what I hoped would be enough to get me accepted into the University of Montana, but it turns out my grades were even better.

In my geography class, it is almost impossible to get an A.  I mean you could if you just know everything to begin with, but if you know very little about the world, like me, your chances of getting an A are low.

Believe me.  I studied like such a nerd when the time came for a test.  I studied the entire study guide, my notes, and the text.  All of these repeatedly with flash cards and I always got Bs and Cs on the tests.  I know I'm not an idiot.  The problem was I didn't even recognize 20-30% of the test, meaning it just wasn't there in the study materials and we never discussed it in class. 

Luckily, no one in the class was a genius freak of nature.  They were like me, so I guess the teacher curved the grades and that's why I ended up with an A.

Even if she didn't grade on a curve, I probably wouldn't have been assertive enough to say anything.  I always tell myself it's my fault.  "There is always a way to get an A, no matter what!  Don't blame the teacher."  Assertive students don't mind confrontation with their professor if it will make things a little easier for them in the long run.

So I ended up with 2 As and 2 Bs and a 3.47 GPA, since the classes I got As in were a lower number of units than the B classes.  But that's all okay, because everything is a lesson.  Well, everything unpleasant is a lesson.  

I should find out if I got into the University by mid-february!  Literally cannot wait any longer.
