Still alive and enjoying my break from school.  I got my grades. An 'A' in the computer class and a 'B' in English. Not to bad.  I did worse then I thought I would in English, which was always one of my best subjects in school. The grammer part kicked me in the butt. 
Question to anyone willing to answer, and who went to college, on my friends list. What was your GPA? I have had a few professors tell me that I shouldn't expect an A out of the class(es). The whole thing about I am in college now and the work is college level blah blah blah. So for those who have already gone or are going, should I really not expect an 'A' from my classes? I seriously feel bad if I get a 'B' on papers but I don't want to  be setting myself up for failure.
 Okay away from college talk. I am on break and I want to enjoy it. I have been cleaning bits and pieces of my house everyday. I like it better that way, doesn't wipe me out as much. I am also cross stitching away on the Chrismas ornaments that I am making for presents. I have the toddler's chemise done except for the sleeves and bottom hem. I will start on the over dress tomorrow. All I have left to do on the hubby's costume is to distress the thing. Which I will be doing tomorrow also.  I promise to have pics up tomorrow!

The profs that told you that, are, unfortunately, quite right. Not saying you shold think A's are impossible, because they're not, and I definitely still try for them, and even get them some semesters (yay Brit Lit last semester!), but they're not as common as I'd like! My GPA's actually hovering around a 3.1 right now because I got a C in math first semester last year. I've never gotten lower than that (actually that's the only C I've gotten...so far!).

So, yeah, my *point* is that college is hard, and while I'd love A's, sometimes I have to be satisfied with less than that. :)

Thanks for answering. I believe my GPA is about a 3.1-3.2 right now. I am not sure how the 1sh classes compare to the 3sh classes in the whole GPA figuring. I messed up my very first class with this school two years ago and got a 'C'. I had an 'A' in the class but the final research paper we were to turn in was lost in the move. I thought I was being super smart and saved it on a disk... but didn't save it on the computer.... and the disk was lost. I think I might retake that class. It is seriously hurting me, IMHO, and it was pure stupidity that I got a C not because I didn't understand the material or it was a challenge like the classes I have gotten a 'B' in, (Japanese and English).
