I wish I would&#8217;ve known. I could&#8217;ve bought an honors cord and everything. The lady at the bookstore tried to sell one to me when I bought my graduation regalia. I declined because I didn&#8217;t think I would be able to graduate with honors because of my CS 300 class which I was failing in. I didn&#8217;t realize that they were going to use grades as of fall.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, I don&#8217;t have a cord for pictures. What a shame! I could&#8217;ve even used the one I had for my high school graduation. It looks exactly identical to our old 4.0 honor cords.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it&#8217;s been ten years. Mom has probably tossed it. Incidentally, I left my graduation regalia at her house. I made her promise not to throw it away because I will need it again in a couple of years when I finish my masters. Besides, Jen may be able to use it too. So one of us will be able to use it.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, the funny thing is Justin didn&#8217;t even know I made Cum Laude. When they asked those graduating Cum Laude to stand and I stood up he made at face at me as if to say, &#8220;What are you doing? You didn&#8217;t graduate with honors. You don&#8217;t even have an honor cord!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I just stuck my tongue out at him. My name is on the list, dammit! So I&#8217;m standing up to get the proper recognition.
