Yeah, honours are only special degrees. As in, you have to maintain a certain average overall in your major. There is no need to do a minor, but you can do a double honours if you'd like. It also gets you closer and more involved with your professors and into research with them. But my marks were never good enough to make that happen. :/ I didn't know what an honours degree was before coming to university. It helps you with getting into grad school. Some of my friends are pursuing honours degrees. A lot of English students do.

But higher than an honours degree we have first class honours. I imagine your degree is somewhere close to there or what we call an honours degree.

@Flare:
hahahahaha....

yeah, dummy me, the day we graduated I noticed that my diploma have some different markings on it than that of another one of my classmates and I asked him about it. (sigh) He had to point out to me where it said 'with honor' in a spot in gold print in one corner, lol (sigh)

I had been on the 'Dean's List" 2 or 3 times (3.5 or higher GPA). Bear in mind that I was working full time 50-70 hours a week and raising a family at the same time. This was back in my MUCH younger days when I was capable of such feats, lol.

I'm going to wake up crying at seeing how much money I just spent on the tickets but my mom might help me covering the flight cost. It all depends now on if I can afford getting there and if my profs won't make everything due right after Thanksgiving. So I'll know by September if I can go for sure. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

I know it's a lot and I'm freaking out mostly over the costs, but it's something I owe to myself. I finally am improving and so are my marks. This is just a pusher for me to keep working. My early grad present to myself.

I feel I'll get to go and would regret it 100% if I didn't at least order tickets so..

Well, if the tickets make you happy, FFF, then it'll be worth it, so long as you're happy. Happy and healthy are the best things a person can be, IMO.

Thanks guys. It's just super expensive. Trying to see if a friend would go with me. I'd rather just pay the 200 on my own ticket. But if my boyfriend goes he might pay half and I told him that would be good with me.

HL: I went to a mall with my sister today, and had some delicious cheese fries! Maybe a bit simple, but still flavorful.

LL: I played a board game with that friend and it took her ten minutes a turn to make any decisions at all. It took like two hours to finish a game that usually only lasts half an hour. I love her, but I'm pretty lukewarm about board games and that just. Was not a pleasant experience.

Out of curiousity, what was the board game?
