Yay! I finally got all my final grades for this semester. I’m proud to say that all of them are A. 
I feel like a total narcissist, but want to post some quotes from my teachers’ emails here (for the times when I feel a little down).
Gabriel Alkon, World Literature:
I just wanted to let you know that you did beautiful work on your final essay and on your final exam.
Your essay on the exam was profound and provocative.
You are an exceptionally good reader and writer. It was a great pleasure to work with you this semester.
Bin Wei, Finance:
You are one of the best students in my class. I’m very impressed by your talent. I wish you all the best and happy holidays.
Zhenya Duzhak, Econometrics:
Hochu tebya pozdravit s tem, chto ti nabrala naibolshoe kollichestvo ballov v svoem klasse. MOLODEC! I uverena, chto i v drugih klassah u tebya takie je grandioznoe uspehiI also want to say that I got lucky with some teachers this semester. I didn’t expect that the literature classes would be so interesting and engaging, that econometrics would be so clear and easy (especially considering the fact that I skipped statistics and took math such a long time ago), that I would be reading Wall Street Journal for my management class, and that securities market theories are really not as confusing as I thought back in the days.
I hope that the Spring 2008 semester will be interesting and not too hard. Now I’m reading “Macroeconomics in Brief” by professor Peter Gutmann, whose Advanced Macroeconomics course I’ll be taking. I was exempted from the Intermediate Macroeconomics which is required to be taken before this course, so I’m trying to catch up on some theory while I have time.
All in all — I like to study and I like to be good at it.

Всякий раз читаю о твоих успехах в учебе, а сразу настроение улучшается, каким бы оно ни было.
Талантливая, умная, трудолюбивая! И все - в одном человеке.

Я в тебе на сомневалась! Поздравляю! Еще одна ступень на пути к окончанию колледжа уже пройдена. Пока есть время - отдыхай, поскольку следующий семестр уже не за горами. А Даня, смотрю, продолжает работать и совершенствоваться в дизайне вашего блога. Должна сказать, что у него это получается отменно. На все А, как у вас говорят.
