Fucking got a B+ in Numerical Analysis. Only got 71.11% on the final. How? I literally don't know. That class is just plug and chug. You solve equations with DECIMALS and use algorithms and somehow I fucked up on 29.89% of that.

I actually hate myself. I'm doing my second undergrad so I'm not just starting out. Had a 3.94 GPA last year and now the absolute best I can get this year is a 3.94.

I wouldn't be so upset if I didn't feel like I'd be horribly incompetent working in an industry, doing a PhD, or anything besides being a doctor. But medical school in Ontario o'Blast is fucking hell to get into. I'm not sure if you amerifags know this, but Canadian medical schools have entrances averages of 4.0 (using your scale) and require a shitload of extracurriculars.

I'm not doing anything with my life besides school at the moment so getting a B+ is literally soul-crushing for me.

>tfw I have such lofty expectations of myself but don't come close to achieving them even when I'm stressing out trying to learn shit

I spent a good 20 hours studying for this exam. I'm not sure how I fucked that up so badly. I spent literally half that time studying first year Micro- and Macro- economics last semester and topped the class. Also had the highest mark out of everyone in Discrete math I. But somehow my brain literally works half as well 5 months later.

Anyhow, that was my miniature breakdown. Thanks for reading
