Thanks! It’s going well so far! Actually rocking a 4.0, but the class I’m in now (microbiology) will likely be putting an end to that. Confident in a passing grade at least, and that’s all I really need for admission into the nursing program. Things are moving along!
Not actually sure if it’s a universal scale, so could be you just grew up with a different system, but it’s a grade point average: 4.0 means all A’s so far. There are some instances of students cranking out a 4.1 or some higher value, but I’m not sure how that happens… like you can score 100% on every assignment, and then take advantage of extra credit to get your class grade higher than 100%, but as far as GPA calculation goes, an A is an A… I think.
…also pretty much everyone I went to highschool with who went on to a trade are now financially WAY ahead of the rest of us dumbasses who bought into some other path. You may be less educated, but definitely not stupid - and on the same page, being educated doesn’t mean someone isn’t stupid… listen to a doctor start talking about something other than their immediate field of study, and you start to realize pretty quick that some of them are just absolute hopeless morons.
I digress :P
