Never too old...

Remember back in the day when you'd calculate the lowest possible grade you could make on the final to solidify a C or a D in Econ202 or Biol113 or Pols207 (may Dr. Tucker {rhymes with...} rot in you-know-where for making me retake that class!)? I may have done that. That was in undergrad.

Well, I am here to tell you that you are NEVER TOO OLD for this line of logic. Here I am, in graduate school, the night before my final paper is due, and I have just done the math.

I am happy to report that I don't have to even turn in the paper to technically get an A.

Whoop.

I need 1755 points in the class for an A, and I currently have 1783. The final paper is worth 150. So, let's just say...HYPOTHETICALLY...that I start the paper tonight, edit and revise tomorrow, submit it tomorrow evening. The lowest grade I've recieved in this class is the equivalent of a 95 (through 9 other assignments, mind you!). Do you think I'm worried?

I just finished a glass of wine and put my heading on my paper. I guess I should get started!
