Grades

In my Human Sexuality class there are three midterms and an optional paper. You can use the grade on the paper to replace of the the exam scores if it's higher. Based on my grades on the first two midterms, I knew I needed to get a 95 on either the paper or the third exam in order to get an A in the class. The professor said that the grades for the papers were going to be posted last night or this morning. Long story short, they weren't posted, I didn't study, they lost my paper, I took the exam, e-mailed my paper to the TA, got a 95 on it, and an A in the class.
