I only got 7As (excluding the Health and Career Ed, which is a basically a freebie) this term. My low marks in group project in SS really compromised my mark. Those are things that I couldn't control, and I'm really disappointed that it was because of those uncontrollable factors that I did not get an A, which really makes you feel frustrated. As always (in a group situation), I assumed the role of a leader and started to prompt the members in my group to work constructive and productively. They chose not to comply, and as a group we got this really really bad mark. I guess I should just take this as a lesson and choose more cooperative and hard-working group members next time. This is not a great way to ruin my straight-A streak at all. If I had gotten a B in other subjects, that would have been understandable because my timetable is very rigorous and has a lot of higher-grade courses. But a B in SS is completely avoidable. As the saying goes, life is unfair, and you just have to live with it.
