Mas o menos means "more or less" in Spanish. I finished my Precalculus final exam on Monday, and have been waiting with some apprehension for the grade in the class. Today I was scrolling through my "unofficial" transcript, waiting for the grades to be posted, and at the bottom I saw that I had earned a B- for the semester in math.
Have bombed on several major topics in two midterms and come out of the final with a sense that I was lucky to get a little more than half right, I was understandably ... well, actually I was ecstatic.
Wow. This really meant something to me. More than I expected.
There is the problem of the "minus" of course. After consulting my conscience, I decided it is okay to tell people I got a B in the course. And if they keep looking at me, waiting for the other shoe to drop, as it were, I will add "mas o menos."
