Sweeeeeeeeeeet

All grades are officially in for Spring. Don't know what I got on the calculus final exam, yet (I'm going to stop by the department before my class this evening to see), but it must have been pretty good, as the final grade for the course has been posted in the system. Another 'A+'!

So, in summary:

CSCI N305 C Language Programming - 3 credits: A
MATH 261 Multivariate Calculus - 4 credits: A+
PHYS 251 Heat, Electricity, & Optics - 5 credits: A+
STAT 301 Elementary Statistical Methods - 3 credits: A

Funny how I did better in the 2 courses with the heavier credit loads. Actually, I think the differences reflect the balance in the effort I put into each course, except maybe for statistics, which I'd never had before and felt I busted my butt more there to pull out the 'A'. (Never had C programming, either, but I've had other programming classes in other languages, and, other than the final project, I really didn't spend a lot of effort on that class - it's just a different syntax.)

[ETA: Of course, now that I actually have official grades to send to my advisor at Purdue, she's at the NCAR this week at a committee meeting and not checking e-mail. Oh well, I'll have to touch base with her later. Haven't had any communication with her since Spring Break, when she was swamped trying to get proposals turned in.]

I swiped it from someplace (if I remember where, credit is in the userpic comments), so feel free to continue the tradition if you want.

I think if you take your report card to Krispy Kreme you get a free donut. I don't remember seeing any age limits on it. :-)

Unfortunately, we no longer have any free-standing Krispy Kremes here - they're just sold in gas stations and Kroger. First we lose Dunkin Donuts, next we lost Krispy Kreme. You'd think we'd be able to keep a good donut chain. Maybe the police forces here don't like them. :-)

Congratulations! Speaking as a woman that went back to college after a few years away, it is immensely gratifying to get grade like that, and know that you get them due to your own good, hard work.

Keep it up!
