<p>whos going to the banquet on sunday? can people who have received the award and gone to the banquet tell me how it was? i dont think i have time to go the banquet…is it fun?</p>
<p>It’s cool because you get to meet other smart freshmen. It’s the cream of the crop. Worth making time if you can.</p>
<p>what exactly goes down? is it just a networking event?</p>
<p>they just present the awards and then there’s a reception with cake and such afterwards.</p>
<p>so they call the individual names out of the students?</p>
<p>Yes they do - there are only like ~100 students anyway, some who don’t even show up.</p>
<p>There’s a banquet now? I was never invited to one in '05.</p>
<p>Anyway, my grades are down by ~0.3 due to the difficulty and competition of upper-division engineering coursework. I wouldn’t say I’m putting in any less effort than I did in my first semester.</p>
<p>Enjoy your high GPA while it lasts, heh.</p>
