There's this little old saying that goes something like this: It's not who ya know, it's who ya... uh, forget that one, let's try a different one: Yer damned if ya do, and yer damned if ya don't.
First of all when it comes down to it grades aren't everything. But you *should* try and get as much out of every one of your classes as you can, even the non-major classes. If you do this, the "A" will be a byproduct. You just might be glad 5-10-15-20 years down the road when you have a flashback like this: "gee, I remember a situation just like this back in my Psychology class, good thing I was listening". But also learn as much as you can outside of class. You can never go back and change your grades once you get them (unless you are good at the first "saying" above). You have all of the time in the world to get street smart.
As long as you aren't out partying every night like Steve Balmer and George Bush did you will make it big (uh, never mind, I don't know what I am talking about).
