Thanks for the link, Ruinel... very helpful. (I know I’m not the only person to click on that link.) I’m allergic to prune juice, by the way.

Ah then the 'glass of prune juice once a day' won't work for you. Sorry to hear that. I hope you are... regular soon.

I made a perfect score on the code for my last program.

RÃ*an, its my motto that you can never know too much. Knowledge sets you free, you know... but it doesn’t necessarily set everything free, if you know what I mean.

Oy!

Now read the first word of your sig ...

I've made all perfect scores on the code (except for one) so far. But it's the designs that I mess up on. I got 3-100's, 2-97.5's, 1-99, 1-99.5, and 1-96.5. Plus my tests haven't been that great: 95% and an 80.5%. So obviously, that's my weak spot there.
I have a 97.8157895% in the class. But I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch. I have one more project and the final exam next week.

You really should be happy with your grades. It's hard to imagine how you can claim a test that is 95% or even an 80% as not that great. Tests aren't everything.

I finally faced the big pile of boring paperwork that needed to be done. (Things like bank statements and bills - yeeeurk!)

It still isn't all done - but at least it's in two neat piles now ...

It's the test that was an 80% that makes me worry. Even with the other test being an 'A', what if my final exam is low and I mess up on the last project, and I bring my grade down? That's why I said, not to count my chickens before they're hatched.

You worry too much.

Well - I was voted onto the Board of Directors for the Princeton Battlefield Area Preservation Society tonight.

The Battle of Princeton took place after Washington crossed the Delaware and the Battle of Trenton and drove the British from West Jersey. It was one of the key battles of the Revolution and is part of the period known as the "Ten Crucial Days". Without these victories, the revolutionary army would have collapsed in the winter of 1776/1777. The Battle of Princeton is also the battle where the first US Marine was killed.

congradulations. They've gained a very knowledgeable and valuable board member.

Wow! Congrats, JD! I hope to make it over there someday....

I got the grade I needed (higher than a B+) to get into my post-graduate course. To put this into perspective, they NEVER let people into the post-graduate papers without at least completing the major first, but they're letting me in because of my grades. Yay!

That's a pretty ****ing ignorant comment.

Thank you, BOP. You beat me to the punchline. Though perhaps I might have done it without the profanity. Appreciation still stands.

Gimli, I would like to ask you why you feel that you may use me as a derogatory term. You're not the only person to call me stupid. Why is it that people feel it is acceptable to run a characteristic of my life through the mud? Yes, I'm gay. No, I have nothing to do with your basketball tournament getting rigged. If you're upset, why, I offer my sympathies. It's harder, however, to do that if you're insulting me. I'm curious to see why you feel you have that liberty.
If you have different opinions than myself on homosexuality, fine. Please, however, be aware that some people may be upset by your comments as well. Further debates my continue in the "gays, lesbians, bisexuals" thread.
Thank you.

Back to accomplishments . . .
I'm trying to write a novel. Does that count?

I know the feeling- "must work on website, must work on website."

Thanks Rian and Ruinel and congrats BoP - that's a really HUGE accomplishment.
