It's official
Well, today I got my official offer of acceptance into the Master of Philosophy degree here at the University of Guelph, so as soon as I send it back to the Graduate Program Services people I will be on the books as attending school again in the fall. They're even offering me a not-insignificant amount of funding, especially considering since I applied at the last minute I never got to apply for scholarships and bursaries and the like (I definitely will be for next semester/year, whichever is applicable). Working, going to school and probably TAing all at the same time; starting in September, I'm not likely to have a whole lot of free time.
yay! congrats on... uh, being able to occupy even more of your already limited free time for the next few years!

But I get a piece of paper at the end of it! And the chance to get another piece of paper even more years down the road!
All kidding aside, I'm pretty excited.

My brother and I wouldn't have bothered, but our parents generously paid for the frame, the day of. Which was nice, and it looks pretty awesome on my bedroom wall.
Our degrees, however, don't list our major - that's another $80. Total Rip off.

Well, it says I got a Bachelor of Arts. Just not in what.
They used to include the major, but I guess they decided it would be a good way to get more money. The good news is when I have money I'm pretty sure I can go and get a new one for the $80 and it'll have my major on it.

Congratulations!
Oh, and making you pay extra for your proper degree is kind of ridiculous. With that said, I think I would have preferred "Bachelor of Arts" to "Bachelor of Arts, three year general", so perhaps I shouldn't talk. :-P
