Why thank you *bows*

My midterm grades are kind of disgusting. Well they're all B or above, but this time most of them are B's instead of A's. Maybe the stuff I posted above is having an impact. It's hard to say. I was hoping to keep my GPA above 3.8...we'll see what happens.

You are not giving yourself enough credit. The courses you are taking are extremely difficult. B's are good. I do understand you want a 3.8, and I am certain you will get there, but please do not be too hard on yourself because you have some B's.

You are doing great!!! :)

B's are still pretty good, don't stress too much. Also, at my school at least, 3.75 and above is summa #### laude, so that's something to think about. (My gpa is like 3.69 or something like that)

Ah, that makes sense then. Still, don't go too crazy. GPA is important, but not *that* important, at least not for most jobs.

I agree. No one asks what your grades were when you apply. Perhaps if it was a certain position where the grades were the deciding point, but I have never heard of that. Jesse, your grades are outstanding and the combination of your skills would get you an annual starting salary of over $300,000. You are doing extremely well and should be proud of yourself.

So I graduated today. :) It was a nice day overall. A bit warm (my face got a bit of sun burn), but at least the weather was on the nice side, and it was nice to see a few people off.

So my final grades aren't too shabby this semester. It was my worst semester in terms of grades but whatever. I still had my cumulative over 3.9 anyway, so I'm happy with that haha.

I get to keep my radio show next year, and I will stay involved with band and choir stuff. It's tough because graduating early kind of messed things up (band frat, section leader, etc.) but I hope new opportunities will arise. I'm excited about my rooming situation next year, and I'm next door to my sister which is cool.

Jesse...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Graduating early might have messed up a few things, but you will still be there and working on even more exciting courses! I think you will enjoy graduate school and you will see that new opportunities opening up. Glad to hear your sister will be close by.

Please do not give time to the thoughts that you might have missed something. I truly believe you will be much happier now that you have moved on to the next level. Also, I hope you start building a portfolio of your achievements in game design. There are lots of employment opportunities and I can give you some contacts that will open doors for you, if you are so inclined. There is a very, very small group of people who excel at math AND game design and there are lucrative jobs for someone such as yourself. The starting salaries are phenomenal and you would be with like minded people.

Now, go out and enjoy the summer. Please post a picture of you in your graduation gear. We would really love to see you in your cap and gown!

Let us know how things are going for you. Again, congratulations, you did great!!!

Thanks guys. Right now I'm learning spanish (my mom got free rosetta stone accounts!), and I'm taking a flash class until July which is pretty fun. I applied for an internship but I haven't heard anything back yet, but at least I have work lined up for the fall.

Free Rosetta Stone accounts!!!!!! I'm jealous!!!!!! You will pick up Spanish fast as you excelled at French. How is that going? The flash class must not only be fun, but really interesting. Good luck with the internship, I hope you get it.

Nothing much to report here, it is getting to be warm, which is always my favorite time of the year.
