VICTORY IS MINE!
May. 12th, 2009 11:42 amYES!
So, I slacked off this last semester on that term paper. And the professor knew it when I handed it in before I took the final. He was concerned and stopped me after I turned in my final exam. He knew I'd been pressed for time and rushed through it and he also knew that I was doing high quality work for everything else in the class. See, if I don't get at least a B in my classes, I don't graduate and he was concerned that because the term paper was worth 30% of my grade that I might not graduate. He said he'd let me know if it was borderline on the B and C and possibly give me another chance to re-submit the paper.
I thought that was very generous of him. So I've been checking my school email constantly since then. It was mostly dependent upon my final test - if I had done well, I'd get a B. If I hadn't, I'd get a call or email. I did not receive any call or email, but he just posted the final grade for the class this morning.
I got a B in the class. YES!
That is the best news possible. *happy dance*
I also got a call this morning from the lady in the School of Graduate Studies. My paper format has been reviewed and she will be mailing it to me today. So, I just have to make whatever formatting changes they say, print it on 100% cotton paper four times, and then run around to get signatures again. Not sure how that will work as two of the three committee members are in Asia right now, but we'll find out. I'm not too worried about that portion - if they don't formally complete my graduate degree til this fall because of delayed signatures, I will survive. I'm just ELATED that all of my school work is done and that I finished my masters degree with two Bs, an A-, an A+ and 6 As while working full time in under three years.
