Grad school is hard, even art school. Its tough out there. I am not shy to say that I am one of the better ones in my class but with that said I still did not receive the grade that I would have like to today. It was just a progress grade that won't be averaged but is there to tell you how you are doing. Honestly I'm not doing as well as I thought and really not as well as I would like. But it is good that it is only a progress grade and not a final.
