Croweing about my Grades

Yesterday afternoon I received an email announcement that our final exam and class grades had been posted online. This is the final that totally kicked my butt. I worked like a demon on it for the full two hours and still couldn’t answer all the questions…seventeen pages of questions. It was a challenge. I nervously logged on to find out my grades.

But alas, by some crazy stroke of luck, I earned 75.7 out of 100 on it. Considering that I got 67 out of 100 on the midterm I was quite shocked. Fortunately for me…and I’m guessing many in these classes, grading is based on a curve. Thanks to the curve, I was given an A- for the semester.

For this semester, I received an A- in both classes. Sum total for the four classes I’ve had this year, three A-’s and a B+. Not too shabby. And to think how much I worried about those exams. As long as I give it all I have, it’ll turn out fine….despite how it “feels”.

Thanks to Reverend Randall and his early notification about the Black Crowes playing at Kresge in Interlochen this July, I’ve managed to procure a couple tickets. This was one of my favorite bands for a number of years and have always wanted to see them in concert. Now I’m going to get that chance…fourth row from the stage no less. This is the same auditorium where my nephew will be walking for graduation in June (provided he graduates of course).

Summer golf league starts today. Woohoo.

    My bad. In order for comments to show, I have to manually approve a user name and email address. But after that, if you use the same name and address they will show automagically. Thanks for the props Baldrick.
