Well, this afternoon I was both surprised and disappointed.
I got a 93% on my exam. This wouldn’t have been so bad, except they mentioned that the average grade was 94%, the mean grade was 95% and the mode grade was 98%. Then I noticed that I had conjugated the verb “to see” as visi rather than vidi… six times. I have never made this mistake before, but that little slip cost me 5% on my grade (6 wrong). Ack. I’m not *trying* to be a perfectionist, but “below average” bugs me.
Back to the grindstone…
