norcalguy: is it really true that your best is sometimes not good enough here at Cornell? That is extremely depressing for me because it’s only been 1 week here for me and I’ve been studying until 1 AM every day (even weekends). Does the difficulty in grades derive from effort and time put into studying or does it come more from the innate talents of the students here at Cornell? If it is the former and not the latter then it doesn’t worry me as much because I’m willing to make large sacrafices of time if that is what is required. What do you think? Any advice for Chem 207, Calc 111, and/or Bio 101? Is the biology lab practical really difficult? If I sound anxious, it’s because I am. If I sound annoying, sorry.
