I'm graduating with honors!
 
My committee liked my thesis, I didn't make a complete ass of myself during the defense, and so....... they decided to give me the honors designation on my diploma.

I'm done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Now I don't know what to do with myself. My best friends are all busy right now, and I want to go celebrate.

RedRosesForMe 16th November 2010 09:33 AM

Actually, no, I do know one thing I want to do right now. I'm going to buy myself a new hat.

Radical Edward 16th November 2010 09:41 AM

Yay for hats!

jali 16th November 2010 09:46 AM

And some red roses I hope!

Congrats! :science::science::science::toot::toot::toot::

Perchance, one of those hats with a flat top and a tassel?

Panacea 16th November 2010 10:07 AM

Yay!!!

: throws confetti :

It's been 22 years since I got my Masters' and I *still* don't quite believe it. :p

:toot: :cake: :toot:

Pirate 16th November 2010 10:42 AM

Congrats. Your family should be very proud of you.

We will see the new hat, right?

Euryphaessa 16th November 2010 10:44 AM

Congratulations, RRFM! :D

hajario 16th November 2010 10:45 AM

Well done! :toot:

I still cringe when I think of my Masters oral exam. Giving me an "honors" designation didn't cross anyone's mind.

Khampelf 16th November 2010 10:49 AM

Big time congrats, RRfM!

I remember how good it feels. Buy seven or eight hats, you deserve it!

The Futility of Nihilism 16th November 2010 10:53 AM

Congratulations on the new hat! ;)

The Superhero 16th November 2010 11:10 AM

Ooo, new hat! You should see if you can get one like this.

Borborygmi 16th November 2010 11:13 AM

Congrats, RRFM! Your thesis was on Joan of Arc, right? I propose that you buy a hat decorated with fire, like this guy's.

ETA: Or Supes' suggestion. Either way.

Giraffe 16th November 2010 11:15 AM

That's awesome, RedRoses, congratulations! What a great accomplishment, you should be really proud.

shamrock 16th November 2010 11:25 AM

Congratulations RRfM! :science::science::science::toot::toot::toot: :cake::cake::cake:

Buy yourself a couple hats, you totally deserve it.

backyard 16th November 2010 11:32 AM

Fantastic news. It was just a few months ago I posted in another thread you started about your thesis. NOW IT'S ALL OVER! Until you get bored, like me, and go back to school for your PhD...urgh.

eleanorigby 16th November 2010 12:05 PM

WONDERFUL NEWS!! Congrats: U r smart!
:toot:

RedRosesForMe 16th November 2010 12:13 PM

I can't seem to get a good shot of me in the hat. Probably because I'm trying to take the pic myself. I'm working on it.

I also bought a bottle of shiraz, some smoked gouda, madeleines, andouille sausage, Cuban coffee and some hummus. So I am wearing my cute hat while taking a culinary world tour.

RedRosesForMe 16th November 2010 12:21 PM

My adorable hat. Took a little fussing to get my hair to fit in the hat. I have too much hair.

Borborygmi 16th November 2010 12:23 PM

That hat is entirely unlike the hats that both The Superhero and I suggested. It's like you haven't read your own thread at all! :mad:

eleanorigby 16th November 2010 12:43 PM

It's NANCY DREW!! I love the flapper hat!

davew0071 16th November 2010 01:19 PM

Heartiest congratulations! You did it!

Also, hats are good. I own about seven fedoras, myself.

threnody 16th November 2010 02:04 PM

YAY YOU! x

HUZZAHS, RED! And WITH HONORS! :toot:

Your hat rocks, it suits you immensely and... nicely celebrated!

I might buy a beard hat for my friend. He already has a beard, but is very jealous of thicker, fuller beards than his.

severe delays 16th November 2010 03:24 PM

Congratulations. Now go get drunk. :)

Hunter Hawk 16th November 2010 03:51 PM

Congratulations!

Wolf Larsen 16th November 2010 05:36 PM

Woot!

Euryphaessa 16th November 2010 05:39 PM

I covet your hat hard.

Tipsy Imperial Concubine 16th November 2010 07:43 PM

Awesome news! I'm very happy for you and can only imagine the euphoria you are feeling right now!! Congrats.
