And it was the best semester of my college and graduate career! For years, I’ve been putting up with mediocrity and averageness in the grade department in exchange for a healthy social life. But this semester, I managed to do both!

I’m amazed that I pulled it off - I’m working full time, and taking 9 credit hours of graduate school. I’ve been debating whether or not to add a second master’s to my schedule, and I think that all signs point to yes at the moment. I’ve finally found a field that I both enjoy, do well at, and look forward to (okay, so I’m not that good at math…). Never did I experience this in undergrad. Finally, things are looking up for Munch.

I hope this doesn’t come off as bragging or anything - I just wanted to say how excited I am that I found something that I enjoy _and_ do well at!

I take full credit. I’ve been a tremendous influence on you.

I think merely the fact that I haven’t bogged myself down in watching “24” each week has had a powerful effect on my attention span. I couldn’t have concentrated if I knew what was going on.\* And for that, KTK, I fully credit you for my success. 🙂

If someone posts a “24” spoiler here, KTK **will** kill you, or commission someone to do so.
