being average
People talk of being in the higher end or the lower end of the academic spectrum but not being in the middle. I look at my grade, 20/30. The mean is 24/30 (though median may be a better tool of assessment idk). Like what is this about? Being scared that my best effort is someone's napkin? Have I done my best? One thing is for sure: I don't like it. 10 tantalizing points. It's no fun. Or maybe I'm taking it too seriously. Yeah, too much I guess. It's not gonna hurt my pride, my worth as a human... right?
