My final grades have been posted, and I am pleased to share that I successfully maintained a perfect straight A average throughout my college career (not a single B baby). My advisor and the Dean have both extended their congratulations, and I will be graduating with highest honors (summa cum laude) on May 16th with Bachelor of Science degrees in Mathematics and Physics (Material Science).
I am sure it will be more so when I graduate than today, but I find myself emotional and awestruck looking back. My mother did so much to dissuade and discourage me verbally, emotionally, and legally. I have been called the spawn of satan, told I would fail miserably in college, and have had a number of legal battles with her concerning my trust fund. But I proved her wrong, and she has lost all her court battles.
So now I stand on the cusp of my next adventure...MORE SCHOOLING! On Monday, I start a consulting gig for the Summer. In the Fall, I start my PhD track. Now I have to decide whether to move into new PhD provided housing or to stay put in my current dorm room where I have spent the past 4 years. I am torn on that one.
I will finish up my TA hours today and it does look like I will continue as a TA next year, only with more clout!
Here are my final grades in my undergrad classes:
Applied Radiation Physics (98% - A)
Topology (98% - A)
Research in Physics III (97% - A)
Psychology (94% - A)
Nuclear and Particle Physics (97% - A)
Yes, I am still a smol nerd!!
So, if you want to congratulate me, feed me chocolate and tell me I am pretty.
Thanks for many of you who have followed me on here for some time, some since I started at 19 (now I am old at 22). You encouraged and stayed with me, even when the tumblr gods wrongly terminated my previous account. I am grateful for this outlet and wish only the best for all of you!
