Will a single B+ ruin me?

Thank you so much for the concern and advice! Unfortunately, I cannot report my counselor that effectively, as he is the headmaster’s brother. Truly, nepotism at its finest.

However, many students have had issues with him (including the ones that are currently attending or are alums of several excellent universities!) - especially with him not being willing to give on certain topics, which is probably the reason that he was given a full year off this upcoming year to spend time with his pregnant wife. I think the entire upper school (teachers included) is breathing a sigh of relief with this one.

Anyway, I was just having a major ughh period, exacerbated by other students (especially those from other schools) talking about getting all straight As (and then complaining about how their grading scale was soooo unfair and talking about how their school doesn’t do A+ or A-) … A B+ is close enough, especially if it was actually an A all year until midterms and finals were put into the equation!

I really just need to let this go! I have two weeks until school starts (seven week summer break), so I just need to relax and keep off of CC for a while.

If possible.

Thanks!
