"Yowza!"

I'm not one to brag, but...
Thats my score on the paper I was working on in the library over the weekend! This professor is a super hard grader, and usually tears your papers apart and writes a lot of 'constructive criticism' in the margins, and doesn't take much time for 'positive comments.' I still had recommendations and parts that he didn't totally understand, but his writing on the back reads:

I disagree with some of the numbers arrived at, but that does not undermine the value of the overall analysis. Really super job. The analysis took an angle I was not expecting, but was pleasantly surprised. Paper is really outstanding on many levels.

And the paper was oh-so-exciting...I analyzed the acquisition of Wild Oats by Whole Foods Market, and applied some equations & formulas {that the professor didn't even think of using} to some numbers in the financial statements...he was impressed - the smiley face makes it even better!
