I had to stay again! Baw! I want to get my report card - I don't want to wait around! My exam marks were:
Biology -82
Geometry- 85
History - 84
Spanish - 95
English - 81
I thought I would do better than that in English and Geometry, On the whole, it was a disappointment. Tomorrow for sure I go back - yippee? I'm really glad, I guess.

I have all of my report cards, from Kindergarten through high school, and my undergraduate transcript. After that, I stopped caring, or more accurately, started working more strategically. By the time I was doing my PhD coursework, I was deciding at the beginning of each term which class I could afford to place on the back burner and settle for a B. I was determined to complete my course work before I started my dissertation so I could focus on writing. Taking four courses a semester, while teaching another course, I cleared the deck in two years. My “focus” turned into months of writer’s block and procrastination.
