SO, I’m graduating from college in about a week and a half (I think I hear Handel’s Messiah), and I am graduating cum laude. That means that I was in the top x% of my college as far as GPA goes. Which is great, but naturally I’m a little irritated that I’m not summa cum laude–because I don’t think I really deserved any of the B’s I got, except maybe in statistics. Other than that, the B’s I got were bogus. But anyway.
I’m pretty proud of myself. I get a red tassle and they will announce me as graduating cum laude–with honors. I’m pretty pleased with myself. All of my very hard work for the last four years has gotten me something if it got me nothing else: a pretty red tassle.
