hehe, I've opened a similar thread (Let's celbrate) before, but this one is better:
brag about your achievements (great and small) here.
Psychologists say it's good for you!(clinically tested, not on animals though)
I read over 100 pages of Psychology today. Now my head is spinning and I probably haven't memorized much, but well, it's only for my general exam topic (don't ask about the special topic!).
This morning we did the final rounds for the archery tournament. I had to leave early but the coach said he doubted anyone could catch up to me, and asked for my shirt size so he could order me the champion shirt
My best score: 50! (54 points is most possible in archery)
You learn more about a road by travelling it than by consulting all of the maps in the world.
Wow Shannigan!! No wonder you're proud!
One of my professors gave me a **perfect** grade on my last paper, saying "I like this paper VERY much" and that it was "thoughtful, precise, and has such a good grasp on the major concerns". I was astoundulated!!! My first perfect paper grade!! (Being homeschooled through high school, my papers weren't graded numerically) Yaaay, me!
The world is dark, and light is precious.
Come closer, dear reader.
You must trust me.

Good job, guys!
Ummm, I'm reading a non-fictional book about WWII and it's not for a class assignment? x)

Finishing up a Literature project tonight of which I'm very proud. A sword and shield (with coat of arms) in honor of Banquo's Ghost from Macbeth. I'll post pictures when I'm finished.

Nice work, everybody! Robin I would be interested to see those pics, so don't forget. I have a small achievement...I went grocery shopping for Thanksgiving and I did not scream or kill anybody, and managed to finish in about 30 minutes. (I hate grocery shopping. Actually I wouldn't mind so much if everybody else would stay at home when I go out)

Wow
One question though, what do the the words engraved on the sword mean?

Wow, that looks really cool! Ok, I get the Tartan on the shield, but what is the meaning of the other symbols ( especially the pig...)? And what does the saying on the sword mean? Sorry to be obtuse but it has been a very long time since I have read Macbeth.

"Nemo me impune lacessit" is Latin for, roughly, "No man wounds me with impunity." It's the Scottish Motto, as well as the motto of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, a chivalric order revived by King James II, grandson of James I (who was, of course, Shakespeare's patron at the time of Macbeth).
Most of the symbols are explained here. If you have any other questions, let me know. The plant, by the way, is a yarrow flower -- it represents bitterness.

Hear hear! I just went out to the store looking for Thanksgiving themed items (such as a tablecloth and maybe a center piece or candle for the dinner table) and they had absolutley NO Thanksgiving stuff. They had Christmas and some Halloween clearance but no Thanksgiving. I guess no one is thankfulOriginally Posted by kathycf
Oh I guess I should post a boast. Once a long time ago I scored a winning three point shot in a basketball game and my teammates gathered around me after the game. Isn't that sad? I haven't a memorable moment since then and it's been so many years ago!
