Ummm, OMGHI? I don’t understand. **Septima** , Cool for you! Be proud, be happy. So, bachelor’s assignment, does that mean it fulfills the last of your degree requirements? Would it be the equivalent of a senior seminar? ---

I don’t know what the equivalent is. It’s a written…thing, that you spend the last semester writing, and then you get a degree. [QUOTE=glee] How long did the Hundred Years War last? [/QUOTE] Depends. When are you counting from? 😉 [QUOTE=Kuboydal] Why you bringin up old stuff? [/QUOTE] Is this some strange joke where history=old stuff? If not, what are you talking about?

Congrats to all those who got As! I will never cease being proud of getting one from a particular professor who was a real hardass about grading, and that was several years ago. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-i-got-an-a-today/430620.md?page=2)
