tsaikoI have two more Christmas cards to write and then I shall be DONE!
I have also already found out one of my grades for class. I got an A in statistics, meaning that my GPA for my graduate program continues to be a 4.0 (meaning I've got the highest marks you can get for all the classes I've taken in my program, for those who don't know the US's grading system). Since I do not expect to get anything but an A in Adv. Remote Sensing and all I have left is thesis, I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep that GPA.
I have no idea if my university will put summa cum laude on my degree. I know I graduated magna cum laude with my undergrad.
Also, I just had to share this paragraph from the Wikipedia article on honors:
I don't know about you, but I would absolutely love to graduate with hysterical praise. XD

Also, I just had to share this paragraph from the Wikipedia article on honors:
A fourth distinction, egregia cum laude, "with outstanding praise", has occasionally appeared: it was created to recognize students who earned the same grade point average required for the summa honor, but did so while pursuing a more rigorous honors curriculum. One of Fordham University's student newspapers translated this as "with hysterical praise", and so the university dropped the distinction and awards such degrees with summa honors, and a notation In cursu honorum, "in the honors course". This latter notation is used by some other schools as well.
