Mind you, for the other three quarters, I got all As. And my semester grade was alright, I think it was a B or something.

Wait… Are you talking about a grade for a single assignment, a grade on your progress report sent home during the semester, or a grade that actually appears on your official transcript? If it doesn’t appear on your transcript, then explaining it would be unwise. And a B in your freshman year really wouldn’t merit explanation.
