Bragging Rights
After her first final exam in her first semester at the Harvard MBA program, my sister gave my Mom a call. She said "Mom, I was the first person to finish the exam, with over an hour left to go. Everyone else was still writing. I wonder if I should be concerned?" That was converted as a note in Mom's hysterical Christmas letter that bragged "Lil Sis finished first in her class of 900." Technically, she wasn't lying...

Regardless, she's still top 10% of her class, so Mom wasn't 'that' far off...

pretty funny. ending first in my exams always gives me a lil scare too (workin' on my second degree and teaching cert.)
but usually works out fine as well.
gl to your sister.

wait just a tic. I just looked at your profile and saw that your chinese zodiac sign is the dragon....is that done by year or by sign? Cause I'm an Aries (29 on the 12th ...yay me) and I"m the Dragon too.

Congratulations for your sis, I hope she's not as pretentious and smug as the rest of the Harvardites.

your mom needs to work in politics as a PR rep.
