"I’m hoping that Eben and the rest of the class can lift this mighty weight from my shoulders, but I’m not optimistic that it can be done."

I think the point of the class is to show us that it's possible, not to do it for us. We all have to lift our own weights.

Also, I think there is a huge difference between whatever significance grades have and how much you care about them. Just because you think an employer will look at them, doesn't mean you need to obsess about it. My opinion about grades is this-- if you just do your best, that is all anyone can ask. If you give it your all and leave it all on the field, then I don't think you need to worry so much about grades, because nothing you could have done would make a difference. If you did your best and maximized your potential, then nothing would have changed the grade you ended up with, so what is there to obsess about? Accept them, and move on. At that point, whatever will be will be, and worrying about the grades won't change them, so what's the point? Like anything else, stressing about something over which you have no control is just wasting energy that could be better used elsewhere.
