Spring Grades

I'll never get used to that long wait between exams and grades. As it turned out, I managed to repair a lot of the damage done by my disastrous fall semester. My B-minus in International Criminal Law goes a long way toward making up for any grades I've received in the past that I thought were unfairly low. A D would not have surprised me. My grades went up from there, so I have no complaints.
Now that I've turned things around, my poor academic showing last fall is sort of comforting to me. At least now I know that all the long hours I put in really are necessary to keep my grades up.
