I got to have an extremely brief visit with
I also learned an important lesson about Centre’s Honors Convocation. It is very different from the honors assemblies in high school. The college superiors must have done research into how little one really cares about a fancy certificate that you’ll just throw in a box as soon as you return home, and decided to give students something worthwhile for their honors.
Now, we all know that there are two fundamental worthwhile prizes: food and money. Having missed dinner, I would have been thrilled to receive a cookie for my outstanding achievement in art, but when I discovered that the little envelope I got did NOT contain a dinky certificate, but a check, I was equally enthusiastic.
If they’d given us money in high school honors assemblies, I would have been much more spirited about going! So that was my pleasant surprise for the week, I’ll use it to buy art supplies…or maybe a playstation 2 ¬_¬
WOOO!
*hugs*
Congrats on all of your hard work! RISD’s too cheap to give out honors. >:( And um.. buy the playstation…

Speaking of which, have you seen the new Zelda on Gamecube? It has a very unusual visual style, and I’d be interested to know what you think of it.

Yes! The Playstation! (Then let me play GTAVC on it!)

From Alison
I got a clock with my award.
Will got $500 for his drama award.
the clock is nice and all, but my grandfather makes clocks for a living so i really didn’t need one.
now, $500 i could have used.
also, you should buy a play station or something fun because i can’t buy anything fun with a stupid clock, and it would at least make me happy if you got something neat with your money.
. . .stupid clock. . .
Playstation 2 it is! Well, maybe…we’ll see what the end of the summer brings me.
Alison, you should totally pawn the clock.
