I must say, I'm quite surprised.

pleasantly surprised? or not?
Dude! I got an A! :D
goodluckfox
In my Property class that is. :)
That's awesome, goodluckfox!
I pumped a secretary for some information and this is what I learned:
1) There probably won't be any more grades up until after the break.
2) An A, as a general rule, is a rarity in first-year classes. I was under the impression that it was a "forced" curve, where the best five or so papers got an "A." Apparently, this is patently untrue. If all the papers are bad enough, the highest grade will get a "B" or "B+". A's are reserved for clearly superior papers- not for those who happen to do better than their peers. So you should be proud.
3) I would assume that less than 10% of the incoming class received an "A"- it's probably closer to 5%. So once again, you should be proud.
Zuska,
I haven't been ignoring your comment- instead, I've been struggling with a way to form an appropriate response.
I have a semi long-standing policy of not discussing my law school grades with my peers- hence the somewhat ambiguous rhyme.
On the other hand, I have no problem sharing my grades with family members, people I work with, or random blog visitors- the only problem is containing the information within that group of people.
My thinking is this- if I were to do well, my fellow classmates would magnetize to me and constantly pester me with questions. Or, even worse, they might get jealous and push me away. Conversely, if I do poorly, those who did well might be more adverse to forming study groups or class notes, etc. And if I'm average, I feel no need to trumpet the fact that I'm average.
But that line of thinking is only relevant to my law school peers. So, if you care enough to shoot me an email, I'll be happy to let you know. Just keep it a secret.
well, i was going to email you - but all i can find is your AIM ID - no email.
Sorry, I'm an idiot- yorickesq@yahoo.com will do nicely.
