Life ain't fair

I received my Dogmatics test today and my teacher tells me: You got a 8 (in Romania we use scales from 1 to 10)! I could have given you a 9 (he rarely gives 10) because you deserve it, but i expected more from you!. Oh come on...! I could have argued with him, but there was no point in doing so. My semester average grade is a 9 anyway, so why shoud I care if I get an 8 or 9 in a test???.............. Because I am good! Because of my pride! Because.... oh, let's forget I ever mentioned it...
