America [journal] Now that I've been going to school in Buffalo I've got to say the biggest change is the scale you're evaluated by. An American A is 90 percent and up, a B 80 to 90, a C 70 to 80, a D 60 to 70 and an F 50 to 60. Also they don't have such a thing as an A+. I've always hated school, especially in university when I was forced to major in Science, so my marks were always only what was needed. Being at this school has changed my outlook on school. I'm thoroughly enjoying learning and therefore my marks are great now. I'm getting all A pluses if they existed, and for the first time I'm sort of feeling guilty for my marks. My good friend I've met there got a B on one of her essay's and she was really down, and I knew she was going to ask what I got. I finally understood why some people don't like telling their marks, even when it's high. I mean you can't win. You get high marks and it feels bad to share, you get low marks and it feels bad to share. You can't win with this school thing.
