So the university is having Honors Day this upcoming weekend, and they've released a list of the students they're honoring. Students are listed as either Distinguished Scholars (4.0 GPA) or College Scholars (anything less). Alas, I am only on the College Scholars list. Now, I have no problem losing to absolute strangers, but browsing through the list and seeing familiar names on the Distinguished Scholars list stirred some old emotions of bitterness, jealousy, and inferiority. It's just remnants of that high school era must-not-lost-to-anyone-I-know feeling. I know it shouldn't really matter since there's no class ranks here, but blarrggg... old habits die hard. =/ But man, dangit, the distinguished scholars get medals. Medals! Bah, and now I'll never get that shiny worthless piece of metal. =( Man, losing your 4.0 is akin to losing your virginity- once lost, it can never be recovered. Savour your GPA maidenhood, hahah.
