Did I Just Encounter a Gaggle of Rabid Meese?

Is my life over?

 

[Cyrus]

Yes, kill yourself. You disgust me. You will never get into grad school now.

boo hooo hoooo :D

 

[Saladsamurai]

I'll second that.

This thread is a joke...right?

[Cyrus]

Joke?......YEAHHH...im just joking.

I didn't mean this...

I meant this

Is my life over?

Hell, I just got a B. Not even a B+. And I'm incredibly happy.

You're grounded.

 

[JeffN]

it's probably good that you started a thread about this before the final exam grades start coming in...

i got a A- on Calc II can i still be a theoretical physicist??

 

[ice109]

im going to kill myself , thanks cyrus

 

[Cyrus]

I do what I can. Oh, and could you kill Jeff too.. A-.....MINUS...HAHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

Is my life over?

I got a 2.7 +/- in a class this quarter...given that a large portion of the class was taking it for the second or third time, I was pretty happy just to pass on the first try. Horribly designed class, but required to graduate.

Grading in university is way too unpredictable.

 

[JeffN]

in all seriousness, i may or may not have failed a course this term sasaaasdf

As a grad student I got "B-" in Real Analysis, when many of the undergrad hordes (90% of the class) passed with A's.

In my Ph.D. thesis, I actually used a theorem from the real analysis class to prove existence of a solution to a boundary value (Diff Eq) problem.

After I graduated, I published part of my thesis (along with the proof) in a peer-reviewed top journal in my field.

The moral of the story is, I guess, "it all depends on why you are in school in the first place."

Ah yes, making jokes about suicide is soooo funny!

Thanks for the laugh, Cyrus.

 

[mgiddy911]

I can't believe this thread..
I just got some of my grades back, C+ in Real Analysis (I was not one of the undergrad horde getting an A in the class, I think there were 2 A's in the class of around 30)
Guess I should transfer to School of Business then, right?

 

[G01]

A B+ is no where near a bad grade Ice. Your overreacting a little bit.

You're quite welcome.

I failed a finals course. It was in another faculty and I wasn't used to their exam format, it also clashed with some of my core lectures.
Ironicaly it was in image processing, which was a major part of my Phd and what I have worked as an expert in for most of my career.

It's really the only option left.

 

[arunma]

Heh, I've got all of you beat. I just found out yesterday that I got a B- in my astronomy class, which sucks, since I'm a graduate student. Of course I'm not too upset, since my other two classes turned out fine. I'd say that getting a 3.47 GPA my first semester of grad school isn't too shabby.

well..that and suicide.

[Winzer]

You make me sick.

and why is that?

 

[Defennder]

What does a B+ correspond to on the 5 point GPA scale?

 

[ice109]

it's a 3.25 on a 4.0 scale. for the semester it brought me from a 4.0 to a 3.81

 

[Emmanuel114]

Rid yourself of your shame

it's a 3.25 on a 4.0 scale. for the semester it brought me from a 4.0 to a 3.81

Slit your wrists.

Now.

 

[ice109]

Slit your wrists.

i already did, I'm posting from the beyond

 

[mathwonk]

i thought you wanted us to celebrate with you. what kind of mickey mouse club school do you go to where that is bad grade? lake wobegone college?

 

[ice109]

some of you people are dense. this post is a mockery of all other similar posts. i go to florida state university so i am embarassed to say that that is actually a bad grade

 

[moe darklight]

I had a 26% in philosophy in high-school... but, in my defense, when I signed up for that class I figured it would consist of sitting in our desks for an hour and pondering.

HA as it should've been

Can be. Like in this case it was.

BTW, I failed one of my classes this semester.

 

[J77]

Don't worry, your grades won't matter once you've left university...

You're quite welcome.

Maybe if someone close to you commist suicide or if you ever have to work to help counsel students on a campus (who go through all sorts of crisis and are sometimes feeling very desperate) you wil become less of an *******

Or like in my case, more of one! Get over it.

[mathwonk]

ice, FSU is not a joke school at all in mathematics. Like UGA they probably have classes for all levels. I know several people on the staff, such as Jack Quine, Paolo Aluffi, Eriko Hironaka,..., any of whom can offer you as much math as you can absorb, and no doubt the others on staff are equally helpful.

Go see some of them if you would like some good math conversation, and maybe a recommendation into the right class.

when i was an undergrad and got an A in an easy class, i celebrated for a week, and then moved up to the honors sequence (Loomis - Sternberg) where i started back at B+, and worked my way up again.

I would just drop out of college and just become a janitor. Good luck in competing against non-English speaking immigrants in the US.

Or finish college, and become a janitor at Fermilab. Same caveat applies.

Nah, there's no way he can graduate with a B+. Most schools require you to maintain a 4.0 GPA average or it's the boot for you.

 

[Shackleford]

Shut up.

I can't believe you're making jokes about *******s. My father was killed by a pride of rabid *******. You insensitive *******!

 

[Asphodel]

Why does PF asterisk out møøse? No one cares if it bit your damn sister.

 

[dotman]

a pride of rabid møøses?

I think you mean a flock of rabid møøses. Or a gaggle of rabid meese, if your Canadian.
