closure.

well, i got my grades yesterday. all things considered, i'm pretty happy. i like to think i hold myself to a high standard and i feel like i lived up to that standard. gpa = 3.94 (do they even do gpa's for grad school?). i'll take that. my 1 AB (AB? what happened to A-/B+?) was in ethics. i thought i did 'a' work although that was the most nebulous class in terms of grading. 1 large paper at the end is always a tough one in terms of expectations.

now i am done with 1st semester officially. time to start on semester 2 (we got an email over the weekend giving us some topics to research so we can 'hit the ground running' in sememster 2). yikes.

1 hour of snowshoeing last night followed by a few minutes of swiss ball/medicine ball work for the core. time to dig myself out of this.

happy thursday.
