    Default Who woulda thunk it?

    Just checked my grades online for the past semester - straight As, baby. All in Senior level Engineering classes. :

    Just had to crow a little bit, as I'm usually not a 4.0 kinda student.

    Thanks for the congrats, guys. I worked my ass off for it, and it paid off.

    Way to go, Iain!

    I'm happy for you.

    When I went back to school (older than you) my grades made me eligible to join PTK. Ironically, in high school, I was not a member of the National Honor Society, but managed to get several of my friends kicked out of it.

    Long story short, being 31 and in school has advantages
