Graduation was yesterday!
I now have a BA in Modern European History and Classical Archaeology and Ancient History.
Less than 20% of my class had a double major by the way. 
Unknown as of now if its cum laude or not because I'm still finishing my honors thesis, which gets averaged in my gpa, but I completed all my requirements on time so I'm offically graduated...gpa and thesis will be completed as of mid-June.
Just had to make a little brag-post and thank everyone that kept me going this year, don't know if I could have done it wihout ya guys.
Aww getting all teary-eyed here.
Most of the pictures are on my parents' cameras but as soon as I get them on my computer I'll put them up here...lots to do though with unpacking and finish up the thesis.
Thanks to everyone!
And happy Mothers' Day!!!!!!!!
Lisa

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

One of my proudest days was watching my eldest walk the plank and get her BA last year. You've done your folks proud and definitly have earned the bragging rights! Good job child!

Not only have you worked hard but you've battled healthwise which is more than I'm sure many of your fellow graduates have done
You deserve every credit and all the recognition you can handle - well done!

Fucking cool, Congrats!!!
Euro modern history is a great class. I took it during a lunch break. All I recall is that Italy did whatever the invaders said, along with France. And Germany made VW's.
Kidding, Good job kid!!!!!!!!!!! Now go get a job and make us proud!

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Way to go Lisa! So glad to hear that you achieved what you worked so hard for. That is the "big" lesson in all this for you - repeat that pattern your whole life and you'll have a life of success and fulfillment.
