I'd call you a failure, but you didn't actually fail any classes... Good job!

A "C"? What's a "C"?

Do you have alphabet-grades in American universities too? I thought that was just your basic schools...

Then again, I'm a bit mystified by the difference between a college and a university.

Letter grades throughout. Although after a certain point they may also be calculated in percentages, and on a scale of 0.0 to 4.0

That's my way of thinking. I'll do better when I actually have good classes.

A C is something around 75-80%, I believe. I don't really know the different between a college and a univeristy, although I've always found that a college is usually a small, specialized school, whereas a univeristy is more of an umbrella term for a group of different specialized schools under one name.

I knew what a C was... I think... I was just making a statement about the sillyness of using allphabets as grades.

Is it really Eurovision again? I dislike it, but for some reason I keep finding myself watching it.

So letters, numbers, and percentages. Nice simple system then.

I find Mrs Urhan watching it but I forgive her these little foibles.

That was painful as usual. The best part was Eric Saade reading the Swedish result, I don't know who he is but he's kinda cute. I'll get Lena to stalk him for me.

And here's some information pronto.
He's an upcoming pop star (not at all my cup of tea btw) who took part in the Swedish "trials" for the Eurovision with this rather horrible entry. There was a lot of talk about the shower -which might interest you - he gets toward the very end of his song.

He takes a shower!? Oh, I love you Mrs J!


In unrelated news, I'm using the fan on my laptop to heat my courvoisier, hehe.


Edit: I wasn't crazy about the song, but judging from the results of tonight, he probably could have done quite well had he been selected.
