Oh Happy Day!
Grades are all in and I got not one, but TWO As (well an A and an A-, cause law school is silly and uses a plus/minus system). My other grade was a B+. The B+ was in perhaps the hardest, most stressful class of the semester so I'm thrilled with that grade. In fact I'm thrilled with all my grades. Time for happy dancing. :)
Since I have no video of me happy dancing, I'll share my favorite video of a person happily dancing (Because Christopher Walken is awesome):

ETA: Love you icon! :D

Totally understandable! I've never cared much about being top of the class, but I did rather hope I would get my MA with honours when I realised how close to it I was. There's something about being at the top that's alluring at times. ^_^
Isn't it pretty? <3

<3 Indeed it is.
Although I see how much stress the folks who are at the top of the class put on themselves, I'm usually happy to be right where I am. It was a bit of an adjustment for me, since in high school and undergrad I was in the top 10%. But I always make myself stop and take a deep breath. While the extra syllables after my BA look nice on a resume, they haven't meant much in the grander scheme of things. I'm happy being more middle of the pack now. Others can deal with the stress and expectations that go with that pretty perch up above. :D
ETA: Just realized that the "Isn't it pretty?" goes with the icon comment. Evil, foggy brain had connected it to the top of the class comment. Second read made things much clearer.

Also? That video is just downright freaky. Christopher Walken reminds me of a gigantic praying mantis of the wrong gender in this. After all, it's the female of that species which devour their partner after mating... *shudders*

Never really thought of it that way...but can totally see why you would get that impression. Sorry to have given your brain bad images.
Thanks for the congratulations! It's a great feeling to have done so well after such a rough semester. It's also great fun to be able to share my glee with others. I don't talk about grades with other students at my school if I can help it, cause it just leads to madness and bad things.

Yes, you have every right to be damn proud and tickled downright pink about your accomplishment! But you're right not to discuss grades with other students, who may not have done nearly as well; it's very kind of you.

Also, as soon as you said "Christopher Walken" and "dance video" I knew which one you meant. I love this one! It's like he's Gumby.
