‘F’ Grade Takes On New Meaning

Joseph McCormick (SFS ’06) stunned his fellow International Relations classmates on Tuesday, when he received an ‘F’ on his midterm. Although McCormick had declared, “Holy shit, I totally failed that,” on the day of the test, no one really believed him. At Georgetown, phrases like “Oh my God I did so bad on that” and “Damnit, I definitely flunked it,” in fact translate to either a B+ or B grade. McCormick’s prophesy defied this general understanding, and now his friends are confused and having a tough time communicating with him.

Jen Thomas (COL ’06) did not even know what ‘F’ meant until Joe’s midterm was returned, she told the
Heckler. A prayer service will be held for McCormick and his worried parents later this week.
