ummm... you're bitching 'cause you got a 97 instead of 100. if you can't find "perspective" enough to chill out someone should kick you.
expecting to do well is one thing; crying over a 97 is just ******ed.
🙂 besides, its an "A" no matter what!

Dr Wannabee said:I was very upset this afternoon when my professor returned our calculus exams. I made a 97; (OMG!! Goodbye Med School) however, I was expecting to make a 100 so I was pretty upset.
Any tips on keeping the proper perspective?
I know that this may seem like a silly thread but you have to understand where I'm coming from. I used to be a world renowned slacker and now I use words like "renowned". I'm just afraid that I'm becoming a........you know the word.
Step 1: Stop posting b.s. like that here.
You only made this post because you want to brag about your score. Get off your high horse. Take some 300-level math courses and then post how you do.
I'm so sorry...
You were only aiming for a 100? Ever hear of doing the E.Credit? God... Ok.. Okay, there's still time. Let's think rationally. Drop the course and....
umm... (god I hate giving advice like this)
Ever think of becoming a teacher maybe?
Good luck on your career search.

A 97 vs. 100. LOL. It's not going to kill you. I wonder, if your other classmates ever heard you say this, what would they do to you?

Any tips? Chill out.
It's so funny how everyone missed the entirety of this post. This post is totally funny. He's making fun of people posting things like this, and wondering if he's becoming a gunner. It's hilarious, you pre-med people need to chill and realize how funny this post really is.

That is the true nature of the force anyway. Give into your anger. Let the hate flow through you, and next time you will get a 100 (without studying as much because the dark side gets you to your goal quicker and easier, which is what being a slacker is all about, so it will save you from becoming a gunner).

Yes, it is real. Arnold actually says that in the third scene of Pumping Iron. When I first saw that I came closer to death than I have ever been because I was laughing so hard. What makes it so funny is that he is saying it with his accent and it comes out of nowhere. He is talking about how good a muscle pump feels, there is like a 15 second pause while he is shown in the gym, and then he says that out of the blue like it is completely normal conversation. The fact that there is a close shot of him grinning and the end of the statement is also funny.
I used to have that as my voice mail before I gave my cell # to U Penn (imagine if U Penn called and heard that, maybe I should change it back).
it could be bad... maybe one of those situations you get into when you are borderline a / b / c / d / f or whatever, and he needed a 100 MINIMUM to get the grade... i had that with my calc 3 class... i was borderline a / b and i scored a perfect on the final to get the A!!! sweet...

I was in a similar situation once and back then thought it was a big deal. Needed close to a 100 (like a 98 or something) to get an A in a computer programing class although I didn't score higher than an 88 on any of the tests before, but managed to pull it off.
Now that I look back on it though it was pretty idiotic to be so concerned about it. Getting an A- as opposed to an A, or even a B+ as opposed to an A-, will not significanly affect your gpa or look bad (if its only one B+ who cares, if you already have 3 whats one more.
But I was nuts back then.
