Well done Ross!!!!
Now you can tell your daughter that when she gets good grades she can have an Emerson Too!!
 
Thanks for the congrats everyone.

Ark:
Cool story and congrats on doing much better the second time around.

Funny thing is, when I was looking at colleges the first time FSU was one that almost got me over PSU. Depending on when you went we may have had the chance to fail out together. :)


Ray:
I did forget about picking up a new blade, for the time being, until I make a couple sales myself. Maybe this education is making me wiser? Nah!!! It'll take a lot more than classes and studying to do that for me :)

Called up the family and we went and celebrated by going out to eat. My sister came for a visit and celebrated with us also. Sure made that small bag of fries even smaller :)


Hilton:
Stop being the evil tempter!!!:p


Ed:
Thanks for the advice I just hope I remeber it....... What was it that Ed just told me
:confused:


Don:
Yeah I knew for sure that I had "A"s in three of the classes but the last final really threw me for a loop so it could have gone either way. Did great through the semester and I felt good up until the middle of that final. Then I started worrying. I didn't break down almost cry but I was on pins and needles the whole time...and wondering where the heck my grades were.


ExMB:
It's funny that you mention that. Because through the semester I remembered some of the stuff going through my mind when I first went to college.

I'd walk into class and see a slightly older than college aged student sitting there and wonder, "Man! What the heck are you doing here? What are you thinking? You should be out there with your job and earning money or something! Aren't you too old for this?" Then I'd take the class and usually end up dozing off or daydreaming or let my mind wander onto other things into the room.

Second time around,
I walk into class and say to MYSELF, "Man! What the heck am I doing here? What am I thinking? I should be out there with a job and earning money or something! I'm too old for this!" Then I take the class and actually understand this stuff and look around and see people dozing off or daydreaming and I just smile and think, "Heheh you'll see.... You'll see", and then I notice some other guys looking at a girl in class and then I make sure my tape recorder is on and then I focus in on what their watching ;)

Somethings will never change :D

Did that record put you in the Guiness World book of records? If not I'll buy you a Guiness for making me laugh with that story.


RogueShooter:
I'd be able to graduate in the spring also if I could have scheduled one more class but that one class conflicts with other class times. I want the degree but if I can land a full-time job before the end of the new semester, I'm jumping aboard.

Thanks again all
