Aims, a B is not a bad grade. Take it from someone who was a straight-A student in high school.
Three C+'s in a row at college. Those were good times.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I hate them. Hate. To me they say, "Good, but not good enough." They are the stepchild of grades.

“Not dead yet!”
Dammit, Aims, they are not.
Then again, when I taught, I stuck by the maxim that a C was average, a B was very good work and an A absolutely rocked my world monumentally.
Besides, one grade does not define you, either as a student or as a human.

It is entirely possible I am a cranky perfectionist and not at all logical about this.

A B is good Aims! You should be proud of yourself. I have no idea how you are managing to do everything you are doing right now.
I'm starting to feel really sore from my tea disaster this morning, so I think it is time for bed. Night, Bitches!

Our wings are not tired
My parents instilled the belief in me that anything less than 100% was failure. I got grounded more than once for A's that weren't 100%.
Is this not correct?

It is tough for this grade whore to admit it, but the above is absolutely true. Also, those that matter would only consider a B for The Empress to mean Beautiful or Bodacious, or any number of appropriate B words.
