Thanks :biggrin:. Our commencement is tonight.

And congratulations to you, as well. :cool:

I almost wish I'd gotten a B in my last class. I'd feel more like I wasn't overblowing the difficulty of the class.

It was one of those capstone project classes where practically your entire grade depends on the presentation and report that you deliver the last week of class. Lots of stress where you realize you could actually fail your very last class. :eek: Maybe not likely, but it still feels better if you accumulate grades as you go.

I always do really well in those kind of situations - especially at work. That opportunity to totally humiliate myself just gives me that extra little motivation.:rofl:

I hope it was wonderful! Send me a picture if you get a chance.

There were a couple of classes where I was screaming, "If I get an A I am going to be so $%&*@! pissed!" because I was working as hard as I could just to survive the course, with no clear idea of how I was doing.

My last two classes were like that. In one of them, I never got a single grade for anything until two weeks after the class was over. A real nail biter. None of us ever got any feedback on anything.
