Okay, so recently I got my grades back for this semester. And out of the two courses I took, one I was especially proud of...Interactive Storytelling, in which I got a 96 out of 100 & scored at least one A+ in the course, the only A+ I have ever gotten so far in university. I knew my years of hoarding semi-obscure video game knowledge would pay off someday.

But in my second course, Calculus, I had scored a 64. Now, compared to last semester - in which I failed the course (which was sadly another university first) - I still considered this to be a bit of a success, thanks to the help of a great tutor.

...But then came my mom. >_<

Did anyone else I know have a problem with that mark? Nope, not indeed, they were just glad I passed. But my mom, oh damn. She has two flaws: One, she has always seen me as a wunderkind, & thus hates it when she believe that I didn't give any of my schoolwork 100%. And second, when she she gets mad at a mistake in one aspect of my life, she gets mad at mistakes in every aspect of my life.

The end result: My mom has chewed me out, attempted to punish me, threaten to send me back home to a shelter, & generally made me feel worthless...All because I passed one of my classes.

...This is gonna be one sad Mother's Day, I'll tell you that.
