All the hue and cry for nothing.....

Well, the grades for the first sem are coming out and I was really tensed up asusual. Well, I dint really believe anybody until today at Princeton when they told me that grad grades dont matter at all. I thought they would account to something, I mean cmon, something. Well, the pass mark is like an A grade for all the grad courses. I mean if u get a B then you gotta retake the course to get through your quals (thats a weird requirement, one of the many weird things at this place). So, my advisor says this "dont worry about grades, they are worth nothing coz the pass mark is A; its like A is Average, B is Bad and C is Catastrophe"!!! So I am not worried about grades anymore. Such a relief, after soooooooooooo long. I mean all that matters at IIT (acad life) is CG. All else is bullshit. And here the one thing that doesnt matter is CG. Totally a different ball game all together. Research is what matters. :)
