you're lucky your school even enrolls penguins probably. you're a minority at any rate, your grades probably don't matter that much. just tell your teachers it was mating season or something, and that you're an endangered species. that's always helped me

3.0's fine, relax. I'm at 3.14 total / 2.83 physics - excluding my current grades (which I discover tomorrow).
