I finished the quarter with straight As finally. Found out today, as I was doing my registrations, that my grades had been registered. So, as much as I feared that Computer Architecture class, I did manage to get a high score on the final exam. Well, I guess I should have known, that I would probably perform much better on three hour finals than I did on the numerous 10 min quizzes we had through the quarter.
Anyway, it was a lot of work, it sure was. Now, maybe I will feel more confident next time. I've been whining about how hard these classes were all winter, how smart my fellow class mates were, and how it just had to be a mistake that they had actually let me in. But maybe it wasn't a mistake after all, not if I managed to get the highest scores on all my exams. It's still gonna be a struggle though. I'll pass up to the graduate level now and have assignments that require more research work and will bring along new frustrations ...
C had a great day too. His paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science came out, and it was highlighted as a special feature and cited in Science Daily and a University news release .
To celebrate the end of exams and the end of worrying about grades and requirements, I went out with a girl from my class tonight, for a drink and a movie. We saw Brokeback Mountain.
