You have infinitely more self-control than I, Karyn. I could never resist ripping those envelopes open the instant they arrive.

But what’s happened to your pretty picture at the top of the blog?

I did not open my grade reports from the Registrar during my time at WTS. I kept them all and then ceremonially burned them in the outdoor fireplace in the Adirondacks. It all started during our first semester at WTS. We were visiting family and watched the movie “The Paper Chase.” At the end of the law school year, the student receives his grades, but instead of opening them he turns the envelope into a paper airplane and launches it into the ocean. You would have to see the movie to understand the significance. So, my daughter turns to me and says, “You could never do that!” Well, I decided to accept that challenge. I did want to know my grades/comments on papers, and I usually knew my exam grades. But not my final course grades or GPA. This somehow seemed to bother Mark more than me! I knew that the Registrar would let me know if there was anything that I needed to give attention to.

Most of my close friends (and definitely my family) know that it is dangerous to challenge me with a comment that begins “I don’t think you can…”

“Karyn burns all her unopened grade reports from the past three years at Westminster.” You’re going to have to explain this one.
