Consistency

Which is harder and more stressful?

Maintaining an A grade in a class or attempting to boost up your grade in a class you're doing bad in?

On one hand, I'm thinking,
"Oh shit, if I mess up this exam, all my hard work from the previous exams and homeworks are wasted."

On the other,
"Shit, if I mess up this exam my grades are going to go lower but if I excel in the next exam, I can manage to scrape off a B"

Then I think of the overall picture,
"Hrmm it's okay if I screw up one as long as the other compensates for it..."

That ended up in me retaking the class... damn the system that leaves no room for mistakes.
