You know you will do better. You can do the work and you deserve to be in graduate school. I will say a prayer for you and you relax.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558100374295420131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-18403324262552376602009-12-03T09:06:02.609-08:002009-12-03T09:06:02.609-08:00I got a B+ (or was it a B?) for a course one semes...I got a B+ (or was it a B?) for a course one semester, and proceeded to receive a (fairly competitive) national scholarship the next year despite it being on my transcript. This must mean that many grad students are walking around with at least 1 or 2 B's on their records, and obviously we are not all subpar! :) I know it sucks hard to see it on paper, but it's a small blip in the grand scheme ... the sum of your hard work is so much more than just a letter on a page!The Glitteratihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436820673907241960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-78813062524692485262009-12-03T06:14:32.933-08:002009-12-03T06:14:32.933-08:00Oh hun, we all have off days.

So, you got a B+ and it needs to be improved, well that happens, we don't always get it right the first time, but the real task is wether or not we try again :)<br /><br />HUGS!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-79926660455194227542009-12-02T22:30:08.900-08:002009-12-02T22:30:08.900-08:00Now Now, Grad school alone is quite an accomplishm...Now Now, Grad school alone is quite an accomplishment! And unfortunately, Dee is right. It's sad that so many who cannot "do" actually "teach" and make you prove something to them. <br />Believe in yourself, and don't let ANYONE get in the way of your dreams, don't allow ANYONE to make you feel "less than."<br />You stay focused on your goal...the obstacles become speed bumps rather than road blocks. <br />good luck to you on the rethink and keep believing in YOU.~Elizabeth aka Lacquered Lizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284216550238824479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-67482106987542117262009-12-02T19:02:00.245-08:002009-12-02T19:02:00.245-08:00Don't give up.

The fact that you are unsatisfied with a B+ and will probably strive to make sure it doesn't happen again proves that you ARE deserving of being there!

I lost all confidence in myself, felt like a complete idiot and never had any time to de-stress. But once it's finishes...it's finished! And you'll have a graduate education that no one will ever be able to take away from you. <br /><br />Hang in there! :)The Hollywood Memoirshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15296551418108803741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-3325139545146285862009-12-02T16:48:31.302-08:002009-12-02T16:48:31.302-08:00I am sorry about your bad day!

Do the best that you're able to do, give as much time as possible to your various papers, and make sure you get an appropriate amount of food, rest and exercise. Good luck to you!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906572887348350156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-44934938822699043852009-12-02T15:58:34.524-08:002009-12-02T15:58:34.524-08:00What a beautiful color!

I recieved a 79 on a midterm and i was pretty upset. I've gotten a few B's but a C?! <br /><br />I was rather disappointed but a friend of mine pointed out my situation: First 'Tough' Accounting class, first term working and going to school and juggling my Business Fraternity's duties as well as getting into the honors program. I just haven't adjusted fully. Maybe you are in the same boat? <br />Keep adjusting and i know you'll be pulling A's again in no time! <br /><br />I plan on getting an A on the final because i'll be studying 2-3 hours everyday starting tomorrow (til next Thursday). <br /><br />We can do this! :)Antoneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612709672293729681noreply@blogger.com
