I am sad to inform that I got B+ in most of my classes on this spring semester, compare to last semester's two B+ and one A-. I even got an A- in seminar, last semester I got an A!
I have mixed feelings about this. On one side I am still thinking like an undergrad, saying to myself that I could have done better, that I need to be on the top of my class, that nobody would like to work with a mediocre students with all B+s. On the other side I just do not care, and I feel like grades are not important. I have learned a lot, and sometimes I have been a bastard (like with Quantum Mechanics, which ironically was my favorite topic). I did a bit poorly on some homeworks because I did not had an idea on how to start some of the problems. The only thing that makes me feel better was that I did not copy solutions from websites or other students.
So I guess in the end all this grades make me feel more human. I am not a "perfect, know-it-all" student. I cannot solve every problem that is aimed at me. I will try them, and maybe I did not tried hard enough sometimes... but I did tried. Hopefully somebody will still want to work with me next year...
