Quickie: Graduation Mayday!!

Well, it's finally here. Graduation is tomorrow.

Currently I'm a little nervous, a little apprehensive, but overall I'm looking forward to it. Sadly, two of the four individuals who were coming to my graduation can no longer make it. A familiar friend has become ill, and, since she was going to pick my grandmother up (drop-out numero 2), both my family friend and my grandmother will not be able to come. My mother and brother will still be their though, so all is not lost!

Another mini-drama has also reared it's ugly head: transportation. As I said above, we're now down a car and neither me or my mother (brother is too young) can drive. Initially I was going to get a lift of a mate, but I can't get hold of him at the moment so that means that I may have to get a bus; and since we have to be at the Stadium of Light (did I mention the graduation is at that hell hole?!) by 8:30 in the morning, and it takes half an hour on the bus, that means I will have to get up at around 7:00am, which I haven't had to do for a long time. Old habits die hard, and all that...

Anyway, I'm sure I'll pop back on here to note down how it went.

PS. Piss up has probably been scheduled for the day after
PPS. (Lost) Tabula Rasa episode review up later

With a degree of uncertainty...

Salutations!

Right, so I was chatting to a buddy on msn and he happens to tell me that "our degree results are available for pick up and I got a FIRST!!" So I ignore the last bit and begin to text all my buds; telling them that we can all go in a pick our results up together. During the middle of said texting I get a text saying, and I quote: "We gettin results :p"....

Yeah, OK, thanks for telling me!!

Anyway, I hop onto a bus - I can't drive, I really should but I don't - arrive at Uni a mere minutes before the receptionist packs up for the day. I relax a little, receive my results - at this point, by the way, I have no idea what they actually mean, I'm just kind of happy that it says "Pass and Proceed" at the bottom - so I can actually go to my own graduation.

Anyway, on the bus journey home I work out that I have, in fact, obtained a 2:2.

That'll do, I say...

Anyway, graduation ceremony is on the 9th of this month so I have that to look forward to as well as the little event directly after that, of getting, beyond any kind of doubt, completely smashed!

Congratulations to the rest of my squad - Class of 2007!

Although one of my mates failed (ironically the one who sent me the text message above)
