vicarzMIXED BLESSING
My dear friend from law school just called me and was on the verge of very unhappy because our criminal law grades were up. My friend and I have jockeyed for position in school, with her edging me out then blowing me away last semester. She got a C+ in the class - I can't believe it. I probably shouldn't have, but while I was on the phone with her I checked my grade - a B-. I think this is one of the happiest low grades of my life, as I was really concerned that I had failed or done poorly. B- is the average grade in our school with the curve. In this rare case, I'm perfectly happy with the B-.
I didn't fail. Oh sweet not dropping out of law school unless I choose to rather than because I bombed goodness. But guilty pleasure, I really wish my friend did better than I did. She's really hurt by this, and I hate to see her in pain. Not a damn thing I can do, no words of consoling would work - except I am a good audience because I know how and why she cares. Ugh.
I'm happy for me. God, most of all I'm happy for me, but my friend is too sad to cry.
