    Doubleboast for me - got better grades than half my class here although I was doing everything in a different language (mostly by studying insanely) . . . and am going to have a poem published!
    congrats mir, that's too cool sorry I didn't reply to your PM a couple of months back, I was so busy with my bloody thesis.

    I've handed in my thesis
    I'm beginning to think it's all crap, but at least I'm rid of it
    Congratulations, Sleepy!!! I'm sure it's a great thesis. Hope you're enjoying the sudden freedom.

    hey Petrarch, thanks
    hehehe, yeah well, my freedom won't last for long, coz I gotta get started on studying for the exams (they start in August, but it's recommended to study for half a year to a whole year ). but tell you what, I've been looking forward to that because I still prefer studying and reading stuff to writing and doing research myself... so it's OK
    but before I start studying, my hubby and me are going to England for a week (Feb. 15-21).

    Hey Sleepy - Congrats on finishing and turning in your thesis! That's great! And I hope you have a great vacation in England - that's a good way to reward yourself and take a break.

    As for me - I'm happy cause I just found out I'll be presenting at a conference in April. I feel good about it because last year I went to the same conference on a panel formed by my professor. This year, my paper got accepted just on my own. It's not a super-competitive conference, but it's still nice to get the acceptance letter. Too bad it's in Macomb, Illiniois.

    I received my report card and was astonished to find out that I maintained my 97 GPA from last marking period! My grades are as follows:

    French (99)
    English (97)
    Psychology (97)
    US History (95)
    Math B (99)
    Chemistry (94)
    Microcomputer Apps. (97)
    Physical Education (100)

    And under the comments section of my report card, I received three (3) "Patrick does outstanding work"s.
    com-pas-sion (n.) [ME. & OFr. <LL. (Ec.) compassio, sympathy < compassus, pp. of compati, to feel pity < L. com-, together + pali, to suffer] sorrow for the sufferings or trouble of another or others, accompanied by an urge to help; deep sympathy; pity
