I had my last final of the semester last night

I needed a 66% on the final to get an 'A' for the course and I feel confident that I got it, but that was one of the toughest classes I'd ever taken. The material was challenging, but there was just also so much work involved. I probably spent an average of 12 hours a week on that class. And get this; it was a freshman level math class- Math 118 Finite Mathematics. But don't let that fool you. There were juniors and seniors in there that found that class tough.

My other class was a professional writing class. I got an 'A' in there, too. I wish I could go to school full time, but I've got bills to pay.

I remember a couple of months ago when you were considering dropping it, and then thought better of it.

When does school start again? At least a couple of weeks off, right?

Yeah, I'm glad I hung in there. I stood up to a challenge and worked my way through it. I guess I'm proud of myself. I learned more than math from that course.

Consider it one more nasty class you have under your belt! And glad you learned more than math too!

And at that point the Prof just gave me a C since I was a graduating Senior.
