I have never been so happy to get a 76/100. But, I must do better in future. Assuming I'm not too dumb, that is.

hahaha, that makes me think back to calc II stories and how everyone is happy to get a C in that class
no one should be happy with a C, but even the best students are gleeful about it... ah well...

But you see, I was expecting a 20-something.

In South Africa, the grading system is different, where the best range is 75-100%, which people rarely got. Most people got in the 60s, and I remember getting a 62 on a paper, reading the comments, and saying "If I was at Smith, I'd have gotten an 80." After which, I went home and found that the 60s is the 80s in America.

I got an 80 on another paper, and I felt like hot shit.
