Grades and Priorities
It is only this week that I thought if, to qualify for something, you need to be the kind of person who busts their ass for years at school, then maybe this job or degree isn't looknig for smart people, so much as people who are willing to continue to break themselves for the duration of their career.
A report:
My grades are... good enough I guess. Two B's, probably a B-or C+ in Calculus and an A of some kind in Gender Studies. I could do better, but I have to admit that part of my doesn't actually give a shit or want to go to all that trouble. I kind of want a grad degree because I like school, and I like working with intellectuals, but I don't actually care all that much for the studying - I'm bright, but I'm not a keener. I can work fine, but I think I need to re-think the way I value academia.
