Yesterday (April 18, 2008), I learned that my degree-program would begin offering honors and high-honors courses next Fall. If my GPA remains above 3.7, I’ll be eligible for the high honors courses. Yes! But I need to push myself into super-overdrive to ensure that my GPA remains above 3.7. Wish me luck in the next few weeks!
