i finally got to see my grades

[Randall Twede]

the only question now is....how long can i maintain a 4.0 gpa

[Jason Menard]

Congrats! I'm afraid that for the most part, the GPA is a mathematical anomaly. It is a value that holds the interesting property that it only ever goes down, never up.

jason,
indeed. when i went to college the first time back in the 70's i started with a 4.0 and after about 4 years had about a 3.0

[Cindy Glass]

Great Job Randy - keep up the good work .

I really became apathetic towards grades this year (jr. year at highschool). I went from ALWAYS having A/B report cards, with mostly A's to getting quite a few C's. I just really saw no point to going insane working all the time, when I can have a bit of fun and enjoy myself, and get a B/C average. I think the trade off is worth it.

Back in high school I took a lot of pride in being balanced. In fact, I was the balancing point of my class. (271st out of 541) Not too high, not too low... right? Just a nice, even, 2.5 GPA.
For some reason, my Dad, Mr. High-School-Valedictorian-Bachelor's-Degree-With-Honors-Master's-Degree-From-MIT-In-One-Year was less than impressed.

yeah, i actually dropped out of high school. but i did go to college a few years later.
