Danger: Self-Congratulatory Tone Ahead

It was about a week ago that I got grades for all of my classes except the one in which I had my first final (which was over two weeks ago). Since then I've been speculating and worrying and nail-biting, but to no avail. So yesterday I made a couple of phone calls and within an hour or so my last grade finally got posted, and I'm going to go ahead and warn you right now that I need to gloat just a little bit, because I managed to pull a 4.0 this term for the first time since my freshman year. I've had a couple 3.8-through-3.9 terms (last semester was marred by a single A-, as I'm sure I bemoaned at least once), and I've certainly gotten A's in individual classes, but not for an entire semester since my very first fall at NYU. And I don't know if straight A's in freshman core curriculum classes is really anything to get that excited about, but straight A's in three philosophy courses and a mid-level computer science makes me pretty god damned pleased with myself.

Incidentally, now that I've officially been granted all the credits for the classes I took this term, that makes me a senior now. Fucking finally.
