ForestGreen Congratulations on your A! I was always just expected to get good grades so I didn't get anything special when I got them. Bad grades however got me in big trouble. I remember being grounded for the entire term when my history teacher gave me a D because he lost the packet that was worth most of our grade. I got an A on the test, so that should have told people that I had done the work, but the school counselor was the only one who believed me. Be good to your laptop. biggrin Flashback to freshman year of high school... I was out on extended absence for mono, and not only did the teacher not understand that everything that I needed to do to make up my work was supposed to be on the sheets she sent home (and she therefore gave me zeroes in a bunch of presentations I obviously couldn't be there for), she also made me take a make-up test orally. On material I learned completely on my own, from the book, while majorly sick. Can we say failing grade? I got an almost perfect score on the final (earlier the same day I had to make up that test, even!), so she oh-so-graciously bumped my grade up to a D+. rolleyes As if I didn't still have to retake the units later for her stupidity.
and no, kochi and I get no rewards either. Punishment usually isn't that extended (of course, grounding in our house means doing nothing besides school and housework, 24/7), but we are most definitely expected to get good grades.

I did so well in highschool that my parents started expecting my grade average to by about 96.4, something I achieved without noticing the amount of effort I put in, because of my two best friends, one moved 30 minutes away in 9th grade, and one moved two states over in 10th. Fast-forward four years to this semester in college. I failed my Japanese final (first time I'd failed anything, test or otherwise, since 5th grade spelling) because 15 minutes befor the exam I got a text message from my older sister saying my Mom had been in a bad car accident, the minivan was totaled, and my sister was on the way to the hospital. Needless to say, I couldn't concentrate, failed the exam, and got a C+ in the course overall. When grades were posted, Mom (who's fine) gave me a lecture about applying myself and maybe spending a bit less time being a social butterfly if I want to get into grad school. The moral of the story is never over achieve out of sheer boredom- it will bite you in the butt if you ever decide to take a more laid back approach.
Congrats on the laptop and the A- I love my little white macbook, so I understand the pride!
