Mood:  irritated

From today's Globe comes this somewhat ironic story of a U-Mass Amherst student who's suing over a "C" he received in a class. He's concerned that it will hurt his chances to get into law school.

Um, dude, don't you think that the publicity you're receiving from suing over a grade is going to do more to discourage a law school from accepting, than the slight dip in your GPA caused by a "C" vs. an "A-"?!?!?!?

On the other hand, perhaps some law schools will look at this and think, "Great! He loves to sue. Give him a scholarship. He'll do fantastically here."

My suggestion would be to suck it up, work hard, and raise the GPA by acing the rest of the courses. That presents a much better story to a prospective school or employer. But, that's just me - and how I got through Engineering school...
