Obnoxiousness

I hope no one who reads this blog is turned off by the fact that I posted my grades in the margin. I go to this webpage several times a day as a quick way to find my favorite webpages (towleroad and drudge report). So I put my grades up there as a way to motivate me to get off the computer and get back to work.

Still, I realize it's kind of obnoxious.

I actually don't consider that anyone really reads this blog. And constantly updating it with boring-ass stuff about school is my way of keeping myself from boring all my friends with things like this. So, on that note...

I got an A on my chemistry final. I got 164/200 (which, I realize, doesn't sound like an A, but the average was 120). I was with my friend Sarah when I got my score, and she nearly slapped me when I responded with "I lost thirty-six points???"

I started to type a different ending to this posting, but now I've been sucked into a vortex. Honestly, how did I lose that many points?
