I was inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa international honors society earlier this evening - it's some sort of society for honors students with high overall grades. I'm still kind of mystified as to what it really means (implications, connotations, stigma if any etc), but I'm told it looks very good on a resumé, and what's more is that it has some scholarships available to the top members, which certainly could come in handy in future if I qualify. Apparently we also get to wear a gold stole (scarf thing) and tassles (oooh! tassles! weeee!) and lead the 'procession' when we graduate. Hmm.

The induction ceremony was in an auditorium full of students and their families and involved some pledge and then coming on stage, doing the handshake thing, signing a register, and that was pretty much it. I was a little late arriving, so I missed most of the speech at the start. We weren't given the certificates or stole and tassel or anything so I don't know when that is supposed to happen... perhaps they send it to us later?

I've been pretty busy with study (hence the lack of any updates recently) and have yet another exam next week, along with a heap of major projects falling due over the next couple of weeks, then final exams in early June. The exams I had recently all went well btw - straight A's in everything.
