those accursed finals really take the energy out of you don't they? :o

They definitely do...

Got the first semester grade back, got an A where I was fairly certain I'd get a B.

I may have still managed the Dean's List, because I think I got at least two As in the full courses (including this one), a B- in another, and probably a B or B+ in the last, with an A in the lab course (half the credits). If I get the B+ or above, then I'm solid.

(Editing isn't working!)

Oh, nevermind. I misread which class I got the A in. Probably not made the Dean's list this time (that'd be the first time not doing it). But I should finish with a 3.4+

you got an A either way though and that's cool :D
