You may all consider me showered.

I stumbled upstairs to have breakfast and discovered the innocuous little envelope containing my grades. I managed to ignore the ominous feeling growing in my stomach long enough to discover that Jeremy and David hadn't run off with the leftover South Garden after all, and set about reheating it. Then there was nothing left to do. I shook out the envelope and ripped the end off to fish out the innocent little piece of paper. I took one look and dropped it in shock.

"Holy cow."

I turned around and took a few steps away, waiting a few (rather loud) heartbeat before looking again, expecting them to change behind my back. After being up till 5, despite 7 hours of sleep I could be hallucinating. I turned back to the table to look again.

They were still there.

General Chemistry - High Pass
Chemistry Laboratory - Pass
Struct Progrmmng Problem Solving - High Pass
Intro Humanities and Social Sci - Pass
Intr to Lin Alg/Discr Dynmc Sys - High Pass
Differential Equations I - Pass
Mechanics & Wave motion - High Pass

I was expecting to HP LinAl and CS5, and maybe Physics, but Chemistry took me utterly by surprise. Rachel, next time I see you, you get a big hug.

Feeling quite different from how I had when I'd woken up, I then sat down to my breakfast of leftover sesame chicken, over which I had to explain the Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers to my father, but I can be really patient when I'm happy, so it's all good.

Those sound almost exactly like my frosh grades (except I was in CS60 not CS5), right down to being totally surprised by high passing frosh chem.

Hopefully not in the same shower; that would probably cause unnecessary pain and awkwardness.

I may have given my permission for people to shower me, but that doesn't mean I won't fight like a cornered wildcat :)

What if we told the two of you to shower in the same shower and then walked away?

doo de doo...
