A few weeks ago, I mentioned having finished a really huge-ass paper for my Legal Environment of Business class. Well, everyone got their papers handed back today. Now, as we had a test today also, I was determined to not look at what my result on the paper was until I'd finished my test and handed it in. So I got done with the test, turned it in, and started to pack up for the day.
The paper was worth 75 points. I got 73 outta those 75 points. Now, that I got such a high score on the paper was surprising enough for me. I was very rushed toward the end of it and wasn't too happy with my conclusion, which was where I lost those two points. I didn't articulate things very well in my conclusion, and I knew it, but there was no time to go back and fix it. That the conclusion was the *only* the wrong with my paper surprised the hell outta me.
What surprised me even more, though, was what happened as I was leaving the class. The prof held the door open for me, which I thought at first was just him being nice. As I got out to the hallway, though, he walked out with me and closed the door. He then proceeded to................................................

.........................*drumroll*.......

..................................................
..................................................congratulate me for having written one of the best papers in the whole class. I had no idea what to say. This has never happened to me before. I must have said 'thank you' about 500 times. I'm still kind of in a state of 'Did that really just happen? o.o'
The whole rest of my week has officially been made. And now to enjoy some mac-n-cheese and a cookie.
