Wow. Just got my final grade from my CSE 240 class. No word on if there will be a curve and if so, what it will be, but my numerical score was 60.12%. From my calculations, the class average is about 80.

I’m actually kind of impressed. I mean, think of all the circumstances that came together to bring me .12 points over an uncurved F. If I had forgotten one daily quiz, it would have meant a 59.94, as they’re each worth .18% of the final grade. The extra points I got today from my meeting with one of the professors (in which I expressed the belief that I should have gotten more points for a certain assignment than the graders gave me) worked out to be worth 2.775 points towards my final grade. That’s kind of hot.

Ko and I decided that we needed to dance, so we immediately began a search for a “I failed (or rather, came very close to failing), but that’s okay, we’re still cool” type song, and decided on “Dancing Through Life” from Wicked, due to its assertion that “life is painless when you’re brainless,” which we found quite fitting. Ko refers to this as the Bush administration song, but we ignored that just this once.

I’m definitely looking forward to getting my CSE 260 exam grade back. And my film history essay. It’ll be nice to be reminded that I can do something besides making things pretty.

OH I AM SO GOOD!!! My 260 exam has been thoroughly, completely, and entirely PWNZED. I don’t think I’ve felt this good about an exam in my LIFE.

Man. World? Feel free to prostate yourself before me and kiss my sandalled feet. I should be fawned over like the leprous hobbits catering to Glory’s every whim. Except not leprous. Instead, they will be the non-leprous hobbits on Ari’s copy of the RotK:EE that we’re watching tomorrow. Oh, life is so good!

Dear Zell Miller,

If you feel you must continue being a total asshat, please just admit you’re not a Democrat and stop being a poser. You’re just making yourself look stupid.

Irritatedly,

Priscilla

Good grief! They’re selling Spike’s “effulgent” poem on eBay, and it’s currently at almost $400! Gravy. The fans love their boy.
