Random Musings

A highly biased and selective look at the college life of Teri

I am obsessing needlessly over my GPA.

Chances are, I'll make a B in my sociology course and an A in everything else. Chances are I will graduate with a grade point average of 3.844.

Highest Honors in Fine Arts is 3.85. In Liberal Arts it's 3.867.

Will someone please convince me that I am being ridiculous, and it doesn't matter whether I graduate with Highest Honors or High Honors (especially with my useless degrees)?

There's a "summa cum laude" for BA?

Hmmm... IIRC, 95% gets you the highest distinction diploma here, not 96.25 or 96.675...

Well, I don't think it really matters much, as even with those grades you'll probably be personally evaluated for any high paying job and they won't care for your grades if you apply for a highschool teacher's salary. But I'm sure it's nice to get it (it's been almost 10 years since I has any academic distinction, but I rememeber).
