What an incredible week I've had!

Wednesday I had the best fishing day of my life. First keeper 42"!
And many other large fish. Too many to count.

On sunday, as alot fo you know , I participated in the Run to Home base and was able to be on the field at fenway park. Cross one off of the bucket list for me.

and today my grades were officially announced for my first semester of college. ( I was really worried about going back to school)
Straight A's for a GPA of 4.0!!

I cant even beleive the luck I have had this week. What an awesome time.

Congrats, Greg! While I don't know you personally, I'd bet that luck had little to do with any of your accomplishments and it was all about hard work. :kewl:

4.0 is not luck. That is hard work and perserverance. Congrats! Sounds like you have the fortitude and determination to do well no matter what is handed you. Way to go Greg! Luck has a lot to do with being prepared to receive good fortune. You seem like the type of Guy who prepares well.

What Branch are you in? My brother was on the field at Fenway that night also. He is in the Marine reserve fresh out of training. His unit has just deployed so he missed this deployment. He is upset, but we are not!
Great honor for some very lucky troops on the field at Fenway!

Thanks for your service.

Best report of the week!

Yeah it is ... congratulations and keep it going. I wouldn't worry too much about getting too particular about your major ... unless you are going for a specific thing such as accounting, medical school, science ... the liberal arts/business programs should take care of you in that realm ... once you get out, the key will be what you do with it and if you keep doing what you are doing now ... staying focused ... you should be golden, as you will have multiple avenues to pursue.

You sound like my kids Greg. Keep at it. My son;s now a nuclear engineer and my daughter is teaching English over seas. Both had 4.0s and worked hard to get them. Something to be really proud of as it's not that easy to do.
