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.

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

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

Well done!

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

Big time congrats, RRfM!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

Heartiest congratulations! You did it!

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

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