It says "Good"

I've been waiting to receive my diploma since last week. As nothing happened, a friend decided to go on the minitel (the internet ancestor) to check out for me. I didn't know I'd be listed there as it is a GED stuff and not a big High School Diploma.
So he found my name and if I passed or failed.
So I passed!
And in France there are 'honours' given to students depending on their marks. Mine was "Good" (wikipedia ranks it as High Honour, the others being Fair 'enough to pass', Good Enough 'honours' and Very Good 'highest honours'); That correspond to a mark between 14 and 15.99 out of 20 (which is roughly equivalent to B in USA).
I have yet to know my exact mark.
I iz happy ^^

EDIT: I just found out the diploma I got is quite different from the US GED as the exams were exactly the same as HSD (math exam even included Integration), just less matters to pass. No offense to anyone having a GED.

Congratulations!

Getting a diploma is no small accomplishment, regardless of the type. A piece of paper doesn't make you smart, but it DOES show that you're determined, willing to work, and can stick with a project through to completion.

So what's next? Vet school?

Rochndil, who is done with school hisself, unless he decides to do the teaching thing...

I wanted vet school but it's 7 years alone for the PhD and then 3 more years for specialisation, so I'm still searching
