It is a touch whiny, isn't it? Man, I used to eat pony-tailed twits like this prof for breakfast.
I'm with you - I was a major leauge heel at Vassar during my run in that territory. I was downgraded too in my classes, I knew it, but I never complained. This guy doesn't seem to quick with the draw, if you know what I mean.
When I got to law school, I went from a B student to an A student suddenly and without warning! Could it be that the school had an anonymous grading policy? The profs didn't know the exams were mine? Nah....
Grades don't mean much anyway!
