Dean's List Drop-Out.

I wish I could report that my life is exciting right now...but it isn't. I've been sitting in Hardy House all day and the most exciting part of it was this morning when I got coffee. Seriously.

Actually that's not true. It was when I stuffed lots and lots of completed spreads into big FedEx envelopes to ship to the plant. Yes my friends...the time has come for me to actually turn stuff in. The entire senior section is complete. As is the opening. This book may actually get done. Never has putting little checkmarks in boxes been so satisfying.

I also completed my application for Johns Hopkins' MAT program...except for one minor detail: my resume. Now, I have a resume that I have been using for pretty much everything so I didn't put much thought into preparing my application. Then I realized that my GPA info wasn't up-to-date. No problem, I'll just log into telnet and check my final grades. But NO. I can't get into telnet anymore because I graduated.

This brings up an important issue. The last time I checked my grades, all of my professors had not yet turned in their evaluations...by graduation day, I still did not have my grades for two classes. Then they cut us off the day after graduation. I ask you, friends, how does this make sense??

So I have a dilemma. Should I guess what my final grades were and then calculate my GPA? Should I leave it off my resume? Or, should I leave my old GPA (which isn't very good) on the resume?

I opt for the second one since guessing might get me into trouble. Also, I requested that the school send them my current transcript via mail so they'll have that information there. But it is conspicuous for me not to include my GPA??

They're not going to take me and I'm going to blame stupid Williams.
