Grades, tension...
Thursday, Dec 21, 2000
So I got my Cog Sci grade, and it was slightly better than I expected, and was actually what I'd hoped. (B+). Now I'm still waiting to hear about Cog Neurosci, which is bugging me since the final was given in the last lecture instead of finals week, so they've now had two weeks to grade and post but we've heard nothing...

Similarly, I've been really curious about my Philosophy grade (Searle's class). I had an A going into the final, and I think I did well onthe final, basically nailing 7 of 8 essay questions, but I got an ominous letter from my TA saying grades have been posted outside the office, and overall people did worse on the final than he expected...

The message arrived at 10:00pm and at 10:30 I'm in front of Moses Hall but of course it's locked. So not only has my paranoia been sparked, but now I have to sleep with it for a night, and let me tell you: Paranoia's the kind of emotion that steals ALL the covers.

Ah well. If all goes as expected (A's in CS160 and Philo132, B in CogNeuro) I'll have a 3.74 since my reentry in January, which should be good enough for CMU. Each grade-step down (A to A-, A- to B+, etc) will lower that by 0.03.

So I know CogSci, I'll get Philo tomorrow, Neuro is overdue, and UI Design will come when it comes. Probably by Friday...

Sigh...
