If I make 205 out of 250, I can pull a B.

But apparently, not a B+. And this is something that I have never worried about before. It seemed a little snooty to be all about the A+ or the B+, because I thought that GPA was just based solely on the letter grade, not the plus and the minus parts. But now I'm all sad and pissed because I should have been wavering between an A and a B in that class, but after losing points on four skills evals over the semester and the Most Awful Final Exam in the World, I'm trying to keep the B.

not to mention the pluses and the minuses.

damned seven point grading scale. i don't like it one bit. there's no wiggle room!
