I never thought I would become one of those people that obsess about grades. I know better since a potential date, employer, or friend has never asked me once what my GPA was in school. Yet I was pulling a 4.0 in grad school in computer science. That’s something to be proud of and I was pretty psyched about it. Then today my final grades were posted for last semester and I got an A-.

It sounds silly to get upset about and even sillier as I write this. I use to laugh at those kids who cried (CRIED for God’s sake) when they got a B and here I am obsessing over an A-. I think this will at least relieve me of that burning desire to maintain my 4.0. I can relax a little now.
