I finally got the grade for my independent study! That ensures my 3.0 cumulative GPA for graduation. Not that it gets any reward—my rank sucks, and that’s key to any kind of recognition. I don’t even qualify for the English Honor Society because of my rank. The GPA is fine. The English GPA is great. But the rank kills.
Oh, well…at least I made Dean’s List for ONCE! (You can’t make it without being full time, and this was my first full time semester in, oh, 13 years! 😀 )

And I’ll quote a local realtor’s TV spot after reveling in his own success: Bragging? No, I’m applying for a job.
And I still don’t know about the ceremonies. The closer they get, the less I’m interested.
