I finally got one measley grade today. While I was quite relieved to see that I have not yet flunked out of New School, I am a bit disappointed to find that my grade was only average. I don't like being average, and what makes it worse is that I worked my tail off for my average grade. The only thing worse than being average is knowing that you don't know how to be better than average. (Does that sentence make sense to anybody bu me?) Anyway, I fully expect the rest of my grades to follow the average suit. I am, at least in part, blaming this on the fact that my classes sucked. Since I was a transfer, I got stuck choosing from the leftovers, and the classes I had were far from my top choices. This semester looks to be much more fun, so we'll see if I can rise above mediocre when I have classes I actually wanted to take.
Anyway, I was pretty much wallowing in my misery when a classmate from my old school IM'd me. She is not doing well...and she failed the MPRE. I tried to offer words of encouragement, but even I know her situation is not good. Bad grades from a low ranked law school do not bode well for the job seeking process. Kinda put my (one) average grade from much higher ranked school into perspective.
