Just got my grades for the first sem today and let's just say I achieved my goal for the semester :)
Knowing that four semesters ago, I didn't really pay much attention to such numbers. In other words, just as long as I didn't fail and breathed with a sigh of relief towards the subjects I completely loathed and barely just passed (hello Math, Chemistry and History).
It was only until recently when I shifted my priorities towards academics. I don't like saying that I'm being grade-conscious right now, but let's just say that I eventually realized how graduation is coming soon and that my own future is drawing near. Also, how much my parents have done to make sure that I would go to a great school.
While grades are important to a certain level, I don't want it to control my life to point where I throw a bitch fit if I don't see that A in my quiz/assignment/paper unless it's something I put a whole lot of effort into. I've been a witness to this occurrence many times and I've bitten my tongue out of annoyance to tell that person to embrace the tough luck and just shut up.
After all, it's learning for the experience and not to score a higher QPI which really matters the most. Just as long as I'm able to balance/juggle my other priorities and relax once in awhile, I'll let it slide.
Other than that, the sweet feeling of accomplishment is well worth the sacrifices I've made this semester.
