Fiddle-dee-dum, fiddle-dee-dee

Oh. My. God.

As many of you well know, this has been the busiest semester I've ever had. I had six or seven hours of rehearsal in a row sometimes. I tried to keep up with my homework and such, but I was definitely behind there at the end. My paper grades were uneven, I was apathetic and procrastinatory . . . I was fully prepped to take a minor grade hit. Nothing life-destroying, just a bunch of B pluses, but I was actually worried it might be enough to disqualify me for honors, despite the magic of GPA inertia.
But . . .

I must be smarter than I thought I was.

Or better at sucking up.

I even somehow managed to wring an A out of Dana Burgess. Damn.

*large cheer*

I'll go with the "smarter" rather than the "better at sucking up".

Congrats!

*APPLAUSE!*

I know exaclty how you feel - and in my case, I think it may have been sucking up. *grin* But three cheers for smart girls with awesome GPAs!

That really is impressive. I think if I was taking those classes my report would have a stutter, like so: D-D-D-D-D+D-D

And I'm a smart guy, in my fashion.

Am I to understand by your "Current Music" line that you're doing an a capella version of Don't Stand So Close to Me? That is awesome.

Have done, unfortunately--I never got a chance to sing it, as the oldies retired it this year. But it was pretty cool.

Maybe you could suggest Roxanne.

I think the professors at Whitman were more generious this term. I also wasn't expecting to do well but had a similar result.

Ha ha, nerd.
Good job Mary.
