Got the grades.

[icarus]

The grades just came in today.

I nailed the Geology class. Which was expected -- hooray, extra credit.

Unbelievably I got 3.8 for Logic. I must have aced the final. Given that the score was based on only two exams and three assignments - one of which I only got 50% (the evil dreaded conditional proofs) - I must have had a perfect or near perfect score on the final.

Now time for the sigh of disappointment: 3.6 in the Religions class. Ouch, that's a shock. I'd nailed all most of the weekly assignments and the two exams, so I must have really blown the final exam.

Okay, yeah, it was a really tough class, but I think I've just learned a lesson in "balance" and "overkill."

Guess I worried about the wrong test.

Hunh.

Fourteen years as a monastic and my lowest score for the quarter is in Religions. There's a certain irony in that.

Congrats for being finally through all of this stuff, even if you not got the grades you hoped for.

But perhaps you can see it this way: Would you rather have a better grade in Religion and maybe failed Logic?

Get the best out of it. You can be very proud of you getting through all of this since you once mentioned that you took classes which nobody else would take during the same period.

Oh, do I sound like I'm moaning? I do, don't I?

This is just my usual butt-kicking. Trust me, my father is worse. His every (manifold) talent is held up to the light, measured against the most ruthless standard, and gauged "not bad... for an amateur [insert other slightly derrogatory term]." In reality he's just tickled -- at the same time he's driving himself to keep from becoming complacent.

Actually, I have a Daddy story to post next....
