What My Morning Has Been Looking Like. Starting To Feel Unprepared For This Exam Ahhh.

To younger uni students

So we all probably saw those "how to get a 4.0 GPA " posts and I want to add something, especially for ppl who don't go to a college in the USA:

I don't have a GPA since I'm from Germany but if we want to use this grading system : my GPA is 2.3.

And I'm quite proud since it's a good average at my uni for a engineering major. We have more than 1k engineering students and only 10% are able to reach a 3.0 GPA or better. Around 30% up to 50% fail an exam because our grades are made like this. A 'good' amount has to fail and the rest of the marks a scaled to a Gaussian Distribution !

Sometimes you only need 20% to pass, sometimes 51%. Sometimee you need 70% for an A ( or in Germany 1.0 ) and sometimes it's 95% depending on how good your fellow students did in the exam.

Be happy for your studyblr friends that worked hard for their 4.0 GPA but don't compare yourself and feel bad about it! We can't all have that 1.0 / A+ since the university makes sure only a small amount get's such a high grade.

some rlly satisfying notes

Ms. Codex 1262 - [Literary miscellany]

This manuscript is a collection of Latin poetry and prose, consisting of mostly classical sources, but it also features some medieval works. It contains some marginal and interlinear notes and corrections in various near-contemporary hands, and some short marginal poems in red in a different hand, along with some commentary arranged in geometric patterns in the margins.

It was written in Italy, around 1471 CE.

My cat fell asleep on my desk.

Today I had a little breakdown because I worry so much about the oral exam but I've gotten better and took more notes. I'll just do my best!
