When ALL YOU CAN BE is just slightly better than average.
Seriously, that is all that is important to me right now.
After about a week and a half of non-stop studying (plus about 10-20 extra hours a week since September) I am ready for this all to be OVER.
I don't care if my final grade is 10.00001 (out of 20) and I am last in my class (of those who are accepted). I'm not aiming to be First Standing 1st Classman, or Distinguished Graduate, or Validictorian (le/la Majeur in French).
Well, I wouldn't turn it down if offered to me, but I think it is highly unlikely to happen due to my 5th grade level French writing skills.
No, maybe 8th grade level now after months of private courses.
Anyway, it's like aiming for a "D"- you're not proud of the fact but, Damn, don't have to take that class EVER AGAIN!

Nothing wrong with aiming for a D if it gets you where you want to be.
Good luck! You've put so much effort into this, you deserve your diploma.
Good luck Megan! It sounds exhausting just reading about it.
Passing and getting your degree is what counts. Best of luck.
I've been quietly reading you for a while now, and I just wanted to say Good Luck!
Ugh! I remember that feeling! Best of luck to you :-)
