How I did

So, the final grade was posted yesterday. I got an A- in British Lit.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BRITISH LITERATURE TO 1798 -  A-

MAIN CURRENTS IN AMER LIT -  A

APPLIED GRAMMAR -  A

FOLKLORE AND LITERATURE -  A-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The grades give me an GPA (Grade Point Average) of 3.835; An A is worth 4.0 and an A- is worth 3.67.
It's difficult to be completely satisfied. On the other hand, they say the first semester is the toughest...

Proud

Since this blog is all about me, I get to brag all I want. The grade from my third class, Applied Grammar, was just posted. I got an A - another A! How cool is that!?

Being Loved II






















Monday was my last day with Ann. Before we come back from Texas, she will go home to Malaysia over the summer, and then we will move before she gets back in August. We've had so many great moments together during this semester and I will miss her terribly. She is a great friend. Who will help me solve the world's problems over a cup of coffee now? Sadly, we didn't have too much time to spend together on Monday, being in the middle of finals and all, but it's the quality of the time you spend that counts.

As a good bye gift I got this beautiful anklet; now we both have the same.

Being Loved

Yesterday when I came home from school, a wonderful surprise waited for me outside the apartment door. Mom had sent me flowers! A big bouquet of beautiful blue and yellow; a touch of home. I was so surprised! I can't believe she sent me flowers all the way over the Atlantic Ocean. It makes me feel very special - and very loved.

Thank you mom,

I love you!

I Made It Through

I know I have neglected the blog lately. School has been crazy the last couple of weeks and I have simply had too much to do to take the time to sit down and write. If I didn't know it before, this semester has proved how sensitive I am to stress. Taking four classes at the time has been a new experience to me and the whole situation of suddenly having everything be in English took much more effort than I am used to give. However, today I wrote my last two finals and am thereby officially DONE my semester. It feels sooooo good. I have to wait a couple of days before I know how I did on the exams from today, but the grades for the other two classes are already posted. I got an A in American Literature and an A- in Folklore and Literature. The minus bugs me, but to be honest I didn't expect an A at all, so... Perhaps I should work on being satisfied.

The Road Not Taken

Some pictures from our walk in the woods on Sunday afternoon, and a poem to accompany the last one.


88514-603

88514-602

88514-599


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;        5
 
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,        10
 
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.        15
 
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
