Grades for Summer 2004 Session A were due this week...

... and while I already knew what I'd gotten in my Career Development course (stupid two-credit course completed and posted grades two weeks before my other class), I still hadn't gotten word from my professor about my Humanities class. Since this past Saturday (8/28) was the last day class met and was chalk full of final presentations I wasn't sure if that meant good news or bad for me. The professor had promised to have things graded by Sunday evening and posted, but they weren't up on the system yesterday. So after lunch today I was overwhelmed by curiousity and went over to check my academic history for the semester, "just in case" it had posted last night after I checked.

It had.

I was quite pleased by what I saw, so I thought I'd share it here (and hopefully this time the HTML won't munge up anybody's Friends list)....

Unit	Section	Title	Final Grade
HUMN303	ACC_Z	Introduction to the Humanities	A
CARD410	ACC_Z	Career Development	A

Solid gold, baby.

Someday you'll find everything you're looking for, yeah

I only hope I get grades like that :P

I think you're going to knock 'em dead.

Grades are totally overrated, anyway.

I mean, I got straight A's, and I'm dumb as a brick. :)

I've yet to meet a brick that could, say, derive an algorithm for use with cron and X10 devices to keep a lava lamp at optimal operating temperature.

Or are you saying you're the equivalent of a computer sciences idiot savant?

I think my point was I was too busy getting good grades to do anything interesting with my life?

I have a lot more respect for people who got good-enough and had a decent life. Back before I figured out that grades didn't matter, I had my school and I had my job, and I really didn't have time to do anything else... My GPA suffered significantly when I came to that realization, but I don't think I'm any worse for it (and GPA matters even less in grad school than it does as an undergrad anyway)

If you're surprised to be getting A's, you're probably balancing your life better than I was.

Additionally, if you're dumb as a brick... that must make me the lichen.
