Spring ’09, The Results are IN!
May 22, 2009 site news
Even though it’s already nearing the end of my Summer Intersession course, the results for my Spring 2009 semester was just only final about less than 24 hours ago.
I scored a perfect GPA of 4.0.
In all fairness, I will say that the classes I took were fairly easy. They were at times challenging, but far from being a crazily stressed out semester.
I had times to do my work, study, write for the University Chronicle, hit the gym a few times a week and even go for a free movie almost every week at the Atwood Memorial Center. It was, by all means, a very enjoyable semester. Ups and downs abound of course.
Back in Malaysia I would celebrate the end of a semester by having a small glass of wine with my mother. Here in the States, I am not of age to purchase or consume alcoholic drinks and neither do I really wish to as the significance wouldn’t be there.
Instead I celebrated my results today by going to the Student Health Services in the morning to have my injury checked, spent the latter part of the morning and whole of the afternoon in class and finally having a large bar of “Snickers” and a bottle of “Crush Orange”.
Yes, I have the tendency to celebrate or treat myself to a big bar of “Snickers” every once in awhile. Unhealthy I know, but nonetheless just so absolutely delicious! Sinfully delicious as some people normally say.
Perhaps if I did not have this crazily intensive class going on I might have thought of some other way to treat myself for getting through my last semester. I could have asked my housemate (whom is a pilot) to take me up to the skies, or I could have asked my ex-lecturer to take me out to one of those 18 above nights, or even just by going to the Hockey Stadium for a night of skating.
However, instead of all those wonderful possibilities, I will be spending as much time as possible after I finish this post dedicated to revising and preparing my presentation for my finals this coming Tuesday.
Nonetheless! I am toasting to myself through this public post! Which in itself is a form of celebration to me!

Actually…I think you might need to send it again

I’m fine, I guess. Compared to others, I think even though I’m under pressure I count my blessings. Glad you haven’t forgotten who I am if not I might have to start using almonds again
