That always helps. [nodnod] I remember one quarter I was sick for almost two weeks and scrambling to catch up. I was taking a US History class and figured that, with the points I had, if I got an A on everything for the last three weeks or so of the class (which I should, since I'd gotten As on everything before that) I could afford to completely ignore this one project I'd missed and still get an A over all. I told the teacher that I'd made a decision not to turn in this project (it was a family tree sort of thing, which I'd done a bazillion times before anyway, so it's not like I'd have learned anything new) she was a bit taken aback, but my logic was sound and I did get an A in the class. It's nice to have enough points stored up to be able to make those kinds of calculations toward the end, though, when you need to. Whether you're missing something like I did, or just putting a single assignment into perspective.
