felis_ultharusI finished my last essay of the year, and handed it in. Twenty-six pages, plus 2 pages of endnotes and a 2-page bibliography. It's also the first essay I've handed in that included pictures (occasionally necessary).
I think it deserves probably a B or a high C. But then, one of my last essays deserved a D or F, and got an A. Given how this university marks, they'll have to invent something above an A+ for this current one -- unless Dr. Wright is a harder marker than I've given him credit for.
I don't want bad marks, of course. But it's discouraging when it feels that hard work doesn't get you anywhere better than laziness in your field.
