My woman got straight A's this quarter.
She called me at the office to tell me the good news and that I'm going to be taking her out to El Presidente for dinner to celebrate. As I suspect she'll be having the raspberry margarita, again, I'll be driving.

2. Good for her!
I never made straight A's in college. The closest I ever came was 3 A's and a B during a summer session.

I was always a lousy student. :-(

Enjoy your celebration!

4. Seriously.
If I wasn't interested in a subject, I really didn't want anything to do with it. I procrastinated all assignments, and basically tried to survive and advance.

My GPA in major and minor was over 3.0, because I was more interested in the subjects. I'd have done even better if I hadn't taken a couple classes without the research pre-requisite. But overall, my GPA is quite dismal. I falied out of college my first time out. I had to go to Junior College to get my crap together.

I have the same problem at work. If I am not challenged or interested in what I am doing, I have to force myself to get things done.

Bleh

6. I'm the same way
My GPA would be outstanding except for the one class per semester they make me take which I don't give a damn about.

Boy, it's probably a good thing that you AREN'T married, David, because you'd have to do a lot of things you wouldn't be challenged or interested in, lol!

"Honey, you need to take out the garbage."
"No, I don't want to right now, it's not that interesting."
"You either take out the garbage or you're sleeping on the couch tonight!"

"Honey, you need to clean out the garage, I can barely get the car in there now."
"Nah, I don't feel like it, it's not that challenging or interesting."
"Either the garage gets cleaned or you're eating raw liver and onions for dinner all week WITH MY MOTHER!"

Actually, I've never been married, either, I've just learned from watching other couples, especially family and friends!:evilgrin: :bounce:
