Today I got the mark of a difficult exam I had on February 1st. I got a "C". Although the stuff I had the learn for it were pretty intense, I'm really disappointed because the feeling I had coming out of it was really good. While I didn't think I was going to get an "A", I was silently hoping it would be a "B". I probably shouldn't complain, as my marks are, in general, pretty good, but I just find it so demotivating to work really hard and then get a meh result. I can't help but ask myself if my German was an obstacle to clearly expressing my answers to the questions or if I just really didn't get the content of the class...
Oh well, at least I passed, I guess. In 6 months I will (hopefully) have my masters degree...

I really understand your disappointment. But in my opinion, the mark is an evidence neither for bad German nor for not getting the content of the class [I hope I don't mess up negation in this sentence... to clarify my idea: the mark isn't an evidence for any of those things you said].
The result of this exam is just less predictable than a game of luck. Honestly, the lack of organisation in this class is scandalous.
I heard a rumor the Germans historically don't like the French. Maybe that extends to the French-Canadians, too. I'd blame it all on that. You're way too smart for it to be you.
Even though it's a disappointment, the Master Plan keeps rolling forward so rejoice in that. It's quite a journey you're on. Not very many people can say they've attempted anything like that which you're undertaking.
I'm proud of you. Keep pushing forward, and don't let this one grade discourage you. A few days of sorrow is fine, especially after all of your efforts. After that, forget about it. Keep looking forward. You're almost there!
