I've literally followed this car from conception...from when we expected a sub $20k car and didn't even know it would have a boxer engine. All those years ago I knew I would own this car and I never really figured out how I'd fund it....

I finished college a week ago, yesterday I got the VIN for my BRZ and today I got a call with a job offer. I start on the 29th and my BRZ ETA is the 30th. It's seriously like everything just fell into place perfectly.

Oh and to go with the "AS1" code...my initials are AS

Everything is amazing right now, I'm so thankful for all this

Well, the AS1 was the Subaru prototype chassis number, but...Semantics!

Congrats man! I hope you enjoy your job and your BRZ!!

Apparently I got 31/50, and overall I had an A despite skipping half my homework???

Ha. My guess is you know more than you think you did.

Yea the thing is, I didn't know what I was doing, but the rest of the people in the class were even more confused I suppose...

Honestly, I don't know how I got to 31 points though. There were a few questions which I just had no idea what it was talking about at all, and then a few where I was supposed to be computing stuff about joint density functions, and I just took a ton of integrals that I wasn't sure about. Apparently I got some of them right?

I swear some people need to learn to wash their hands while at the gym. Touching equipment after you touch your ****. MAN F*** that S***. I'm glad I picked up some Lysol Disinfecting Wipes on sale at the store. Nasty *** mother****ers!

One thing I learned from University class is that you are not competing with the grade, you are competing with your classmates. In some math or physics related classes where the class average could be below 60/100, as long as you are at the top 15% (I think/guess) of your peers, you get an A.

Furthermore, you do have partial marks if you did not complete the question but you are on the right track. So make sure you write something even you are not sure whether it is right or wrong. It proved that at least you tried.

lol, of course.

But some professors can be assholes and will give everyone a bad grade if they feel like y'all suck :/
