I got a C in Molecular Bio. Grades aren't officially posted (they should be up by five today) but I'm not too worried about my other grades. My final project in Systems Science got 98.5% and I hit 95% on the Neurophysiology final. Ochem is either an A or a B... or I didn't pass the final, in which case it's an F. I don't think I could have failed the final though.

I am kind of hoping that my Mol Bio professor decides to curve and I end up with a B, but he's not exactly the most charitable professor so I doubt he will.

Grades are posted! A, A, B+, B-. THANK FUCK!

I was kind of hoping for an A in Ochem but that final was hard and I kinda slacked on chapter 10, so I'll take the B+ with gratitude! Dr. S was an amazing teacher, getting anything less than an A is on me.

My GPA didn't take too bad of a hit, and it was by far my hardest term yet. Knock on wood. I don't think I'll be foolish enough to take 16 credits in ten weeks again... at least, not including 8 credits of known bitch-ass tough weeder classes. That was just plain dumb.

Next term is gonna be awesome. So awesome!

Also, I don't think I have ANY MORE WEEDER CLASSES. Upper-division Cell & Micro have reputations for being hard, but not "fuck you, if you can't hack it you can't hack med school" hard.

Aw, thank you LMNO! I would squeeze you right now if you were within squeezing range! Rest assured, the admiration and respect is mutual.

I likewise congratulate you, Nigel.

Sorry I didn't do so before. There's a bit of nail biting going on here.

Oh shit, man, I didn't expect congrats and I COMPLETELY understand! I was kind of losing my shit until grades were posted. I hope they post yours SOON, and I hope that they meet or exceed your hopes!

If you die of flu IT LETS THE TERRORISTS WIN.

Feel better soon, that sucks.

Dying of flu means I get an extension on my essay, though.  I'm surprised, as I didn't expect to get one, under the current conditions, but my lecturer suggested I write in anyway.

Congrats on your results, by the way.

Yay extension!

Thanks. :) They aren't what I would normally have hoped them to be, but I think that the difficulty of the term makes me more pleased with them overall than I would have been with straight As I didn't fight for. I EARNED THE FUCK out of that B-.  :lol:
