I got a check plus on my Psychology homework. A check plus! When the girl two seats down noticed, she asked what those meant. The instructor said "A check means you did well. A check plus means I really liked what you did and felt you put a lot of thought and effort into it". I'm thankful that even though the research methods bored me to tears I still seemed to grasp them the way I do most Psychology. Also, thankful that she asked. I admit, it boosted my ego. But that isn't always a bad thing.
