Unexpectedly, I have pulled a 4.0 this semester. Just thought that I would utilize the internet's untapped bragging potential.

Finals are over, and I am oh so very glad. All my grades thus far are As (but I only have 3 in). I hope that all of you are doing as well. It's nice to be home. Nooks and crannies have been found for all (or at least most of) my stuff ( Read more... )
