So my semester is finally over, no more projects, homework, studying or anything.
Till January that is.
Anyways, the real reason why I am excited, is that although it doesn't' sound all that impressive, I just scored a B in my Physics 2 class.
I know I know not that very impressive, however, I failed my first exam in that class. As I walked into that exam without studying and thinking I could do no wrong on it. Just a tad full of myself I guess.
Which means I cut it close, involving over 20 hours of stress and strain (literally, stress and strain of materials was the topic of the exam ) studying over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I managed to use the final and submitted assignment to pull myself back up to a B.

great work D now you keep it up and you will have options in life. you dont have to take them of course you could end up driving a truck ,forklift, packing groceries at a 7/11 but with qualifications you got options. I think getting a B at least intitles you to a few days fishing to get the brain back in order.

Thanks guys. I am just glad I passed with a decent mark. Was hoping for it but did not expect it.

That can be a great job, depends on how you look at it. Stress free, don't have to worry about screwing up unless your a complete idiot and at the end of the day you don't have to worry about doing over time.
