Exams are done

Today is the deadline to turn in exams. I've been mostly done with these since the 20th, but I've held on to them in case I get an epiphany of some sort. I redid my probability exam and its hopefully a good thing that I did because I clearly had one answer wrong.

Also, we had a 3 week "break," which wasn't a break at all because the whole time I was anxious about these exams and the 40% or so of the final grade that they represent. I have the worst image in my head of Professor Smith coming in to the classroom to pull me out of the program for sub par grades. I also worry that if I had just done a little bit more I would have done a lot better. It was really hard to let the exams go. I had to just put all of that out of my head and submit the exams.

I'm up early and anxious to get to Charlottesville. I'm giving myself an hour and a half to get there because class is back in session and I hate being late, especially on the first day. That being said, I'd put money on at least 2 people being late.

The last break we returned from there was one victim of attrition. I hope we all return.

We have Risk Analysis today which I am excited about. I suspect that this will be the more difficult class of the 2 for the next 10 weeks.

I had a nice chit chat with my VP yesterday. When I brought up my participation in this program, he indicated that my company "felt" it. My productivity shows that I have "a few things going on." It was, however, for my career one of those meetings where someday I may look back and see the gravity of the event. There are several good things that came up. Wish me luck.
