Thanks, everyone. I know I'll probably regret saying this in the very near future, but I can't wait to just stop worrying about classes and focus on a full-time job. The most exciting part is thinking (at least I hope so) about how the evenings will be MINE and wont necessarily be dedicated to five or six different subjects' worth of homework and studying for exams each night. That's what I'm looking forward to most - this wealth of free time I've managed to convince myself I'll have. Here here!! I haven't graduated yet but I've finished all my classes and feel the same way as you! Bring on the leisure time! haha |

GPA = Grade Point Average. The highest being 4.0, which is perfect. 3.86 is damned near close and it means you graduate with honors (they are given funky latin names like Summa Cum Laude/Magna Cum Laude). Plus, you get into the honor society of whatever your particular Major and Minor areas of study you did. It is a very nice personal achievement. Congrats Chan. It makes me feel very old that I flipped my Bachelors tassel in 1986 and yes, DO take whatever reasonably tolerable job you can get that will enable you to network your way to other things. Thanks for explaining, AB. The Danish grade system is different from the American one; although it was changed some years ago, apparently to make it more "international". Our highest grade is 12 (=perfect) and the lowest is minus two. So it´s actually possible to get a negative grade. You would obviously have to be terribly bad to get that grade; I haven´t heard of anyone who has got that - yet - lol. |

In Argentina, the system grade changed so many times that, after my last studies (10 years ago), I lost the track.
Now... the only system I know is the "golden happy faces" or the "green happy faces" the kindergarden's teacher gives my 5 years old daughter!!! LOL

Looks like you went to P.F. Chang's? noi1588 and I just discovered that experience recently after moving here. It's actually rather convenient, right next to a local movie theatre, and for some reason they keep giving me a free admission 'cause I'm crip (and the place is totally accessable, so I don't know why).

I'm pretty sure every P.F. Chang's has free admission? |

All the pics are great, but the coolest pic is the chair reflection in the puddle. I think it's difficult to capture artistic wheelchair pics coz of the posing limitations, but that one is awesome. Maybe you could enter that in a photo contest, or even sell the image.

I have been to some rather elite restaurants that charge you merely to get in the door...
A White Asian? I don't know...dirty half-breed or dirty mangy mongrel tends to be the prevailing title I get - though it really sounds like it could be some type of trendy bar drink.

I put it on Flickr, but it's not getting many views. The biggest response I've had to it is my aunt saying it should be made into an "inspirational poster" (insert barfing emoticon). When I saw it ,I was thinking album cover. |
