be a better negotiator

The course that I just got an A- in was a terrible course with an excellent textbook but an inadequate professor. In the end I did the work of a grad student, and perhaps judged accordingly, but the other students did nowhere near the work I did and an undergrad friend told me she did the course half-assed (as most people did) and she got a B+.

I am going to ask for more.

And, I’m going to start asking for more in general, too. It has nothing to do with ego, it sometimes has to do with self-interest bias. “Oh we think we can get away with giving her less” so I think that it’s time I addressed it.
