smiling like a Cheshire cat

Dear Reader,
I am stoked. I am exhilarated. I’m shocked. I pulled it out.  I got an A in my class.

 As I logged on to campus web, I will admit I was doing so with a feeling a disgust in my stomach.
While I had resolved myself to surviving with a B. I was upset because of my experience on the midterm. It was unfair. I expressed my concern. I kicked and screamed.  Nothing changed. So I accepted what I couldn't change, and I kept working. Grade be damned, I wasn't changing my approach. I figured, if I’m getting B, I’m gonna show –prove even  if only to myself,  that the midterm was wrong, and destroy every other assignment I was given.

So I kept working at it. The final was considerably harder than the midterm.  I scored an A on the final, and didn't miss a single point on the other two assignments.  I fully expected to walk away with a B, but I pulled it out. I still can’t believe it.

I signed out of campus web and signed back in web to make sure there wasn't a mistake.  It was still there. The A.

It wasn't pretty. It wasn't easy, hell it was damn ugly… But I’ll take it…

thanks for reading...

I used to do the sign out sign back in thing in law school, and I also made sure to print that screen too. Just in case they want to fuck with you later, you've got a hard copy!

Reading this puts me right back in grad school - the sick feeling you get when you go to check grades, the never-ending "push-on and muddle-through" attitude, the way it never seems to go smoothly to get that outcome. Man, it's rough -- nice job! I promise you -- it gets easier the moment you're done!!!
