It sounds like awesome.

I think Ramesses is more awesome. Way back when, I named my first iPod Ramesses, during a period where I thought it was particularly awesome. :lol:. Ever since then, I've named my iPods dynastically. I'm on Ramesses III right now. :)

I never had an iPod, but if I did, it's name would be Nyx, the Greek Goddess of Night.

I wouldn't mind if I had time to get back to an A, but I can't, and the department refuses to round grades as a policy. :(

I have one. It has no name.
My euphonium (which is similar to an iPod in that it also produces musical sound) is named Don Carlos, though.

Do colleges look at your progress report, or just your semester grades?

I was enrolled in my town's community college before life went down the crapper the week classes started...

I haven't had the chance to go back, and to be honest, I'm not entirely sure I would want to either now.

But why would I name an inanimate object? Speaking of which, I need to get a dozen or so cats so I can name them after greek deities.

I know.

Does your transcript have both your progress report and semester grade on it, or does it depend?

Uhm.....going from my notes, he faced off the Sea Peoples, but his constant fighting led to the decline in Egyptian influence and the collapse of the Egyptian Empire outside of Egypt. He ruled for a long time, despite this, and eventually either died a peaceful death or was assassinated. I forget which.

Name inanimate objects in order to grant them awesomeness that they lacked beforehand. *nods*

No, no, name them after Egyptian deities! Ancient Egypt worshiped cats, it only makes sense.

Is your final grade the GPA of both semesters you were in that class?
