Have a Coke and a Smile

I finished another assignment late last night and emailed it to the prof., who has already written back saying it's an A and to cross it off my list.

I nearly wept into the keyboard.

I'll be having a Coke -- ice-cold, in the glass bottle -- with lunch to celebrate.

Here's an update on my "exit strategy," as another of my profs. calls it. What is in red is finished.
