When I attended Malone College, I had the priviledge of playing baseball. Since I sat the bench so well, I had to make up for my defeat, so you could say I also had quite a dynamic social life. These Folks were really important to me and became more important than an education. I am pretty sure that the spring semester of my sophomore year, I did not go to bed earlier than 3am. This happened because my friends and I tried to keep Perkins or Country Kitchen in business. I say tried because generally we would only order coffee or hot chocolate and on the rare occasion we had money, we would get a bread bowl. I think Perkins has since done away with those...too bad. I left Malone with a less than desirable GPA. I will not mention it here because in the off chance a future employer looks at this, I don't want to have to explain myself. Let's just say I got by. I did what I had to do.
This brings me to now. I am back in school getting an engineering degree. We just wrapped up this past semester and my grades have been published. In doing this, I kinda feel like Perry from scrubs. The character is this cocky doctor who believes he needs to be cocky and arrogant to be a good doctor. I hope I don't come across this way, but I got a 4.0. This is 4 A's for the four classes I took. I really don't know what I was doing at Malone, but getting A's feels awesome. There is this feeling of accomplishment that I really never felt when I was getting C's and D's. So you could say that the quote "hard work pays off" is true.

Babs, remember the day you were trying to study and me josh and Levi came up with Robo? it probably helps to not have us knuckle heads around, as I have greatly increased the grade production at school as well. (3.8 so far)
All that to say . . . great job! it's good to feel a little proud of what you have accomplished! keep it up.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
You turned into one of the old people in class that truly appreciate education. Do you now sit in the front of the class, work twice as hard as everyone else, and ask the prof questions every 2 minutes, even though they're not questions, just summaries of what he just said? Just kidding, and congrats on the A's, I think if you added my two semesters together I probably pulled a 4.0 for a couple of years too.
