quite prepared to admit I'm blowing my own horn

The grades for my final course are in, and it was 993 out of 1000.

That makes 11 As and one A- for a 3.97 GPA.

My comprehensive exams period starts in September and runs through the end of October, when I take the exam. Four questions, of which I need to get three "pass with distinction"s to get honors and three "pass"es to graduate.

I'm pleased as Punch (now, if only I were as good looking as Punch. ;-)
