post semester update

For all those curious parties:

It's over. I am done with this semester and forging ahead to the next semester, my final semester as an undergraduate. One more semester of uselessly useful classes, and I will be able to face the world and say I am a college graduate, and then feel shamed that I am only holding a bachelor's, but that is another post.

I checked my grades online yesterday, hoping that most of my teachers had gotten around to posting grades. All five of them had. And what I saw was not only a hopeful wish but a lovely surprise.

I got straight A's. In five classes.

Yes people, when I told you things were getting sorted out for me, when life was beginning to come together in some sort of sense making way, this is what happens. I mean, seriously, I did not expect this. When it was suggested to me that all my hard work this semester might yield straight A's, I thought, but what about that day of class I missed, and what about those horrible mats I cut for photo class, and what about that listening quiz I failed for music history class. To me, straight A's represents an excellent student on all counts, attendance, participation, work.

So I got my shit together and I am a straight A student. At least for this semester.

Maybe this trend will turn out to the rest of my life?

cheers.
