YAY.

Finished my degree, dudes.

Omg.

And also, YAY! The exam went okay. I had to stomp on my Green Wing squee, and revise for two solid days with essays I didn't completely understand, and was just about accustomed to the fact that I didn't know what I was doing, then started the exam and realised I sort of did. Unless it was rubbish. But I can pretend it wasn't for four weeks! I did not finish my second question. But I made an Essay Plan, so may get marks for my ideas anyway. Mostly it took a mere two hours, and was then over.

I do not know entirely what to do with myself.

My instinct is PARTY, but without drink (because I don't) and friends (who aren't finished yet). So probably there will be SPENDING. I have to figure out some way to get home where I can safely order things on my own internet, without actually going home, because I know they'll only try to keep me. Even if Katie does have kittens. Nottingham is shiny, and I won't have it for much longer, so I am determined to hold on for a while. Also the Broadway is showing Mirrormask this weekend, and I am so there.

Things I can/need to do:

  • Start sorting out the Cuba trip.

  • Ask about the HIGNFY viewing, which I think I was invited to(?). Do we know any more about sleeping arrangements? I need to know if I need a return ticket for that night, and to console my mother and tell her I'll be okay coming back on my own. Also when/where we'll be meeting? Is it Thursday or Friday? Do we dress up? Or down? Or at all? As well as various other seemingly trivial facts, I'm sure.

  • Connotations. You need my share of the room cost. When/how much will that be?

  • Um...get a job, really. About which I have no clue. My dad suggested teaching in Japan. Which is - yes. I choose not to think about this until I get my degree results. Which, given the strike, could be, ooh - forever?

  • PARTY, dudes. Yet also mourn.


Apparently I am still a student in the discount (and rail fare) stakes until September though, so hurrah! It's the best of all possible worlds.

Probably there will mostly be reading and DVD and watching TV, for a while. Emmerdale is pleasing lately, what with Carl and Matt tragically at odds again. Those interested will probably want to watch it this week - I have a feeling it'll be a Matt/Carl/Cain/Chas odyssey. And there might be Green Wing angst/funeral fic. I have been mostly rewriting tragic lines from Last Orders to that effect. Such as 'And the fact is, the sad fact is, that Guy really wanted Caroline'. And 'And it's not like I haven't said goodbye to him for the last time, if not the first. Goodbye Mac, Mac old love'. And they probably make no sense to you but they make me CRY REAL TEARS. In a good way :D.

And there are films like X-Men and Confetti to see, and Brick again, and oh. It's good, for a little while. Also, I sort of didn't watch Dr Who on Saturday, in favour of dinner with a long-lost housemate. It's recorded, so no spoilers please? Except - DID HE DIE??? ::fearful::

I apologise for any incoherence in this post. It's been a while and I've FINISHED MY DEGREE, DUDES! :D

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, you win at university yay:):):);) ::DANCES YOU:: Omg. It is bad that your friends are not available for celebration because of not finishing on time, but it is also good that you did finish FIRST and therefore WIN. GOOD:):):) Eeee:)

  • I cannot help you with teh cuba trip because you seem to have forgotten to invite me oh dear.

  • Hignfy! You are totally invited and I have been terribly bad at organising stuff. Okay, you totally have a ticket because I promised you one. Also, I think we'll be able to offer you a space to sleep on the floor with about seven more of us in the flat of ironicdutchess, if rumours I have heard about other people sharing hotel rooms is true. I have been bad at finding out, but I will do that and then let you know as soon as. Yay:)

    It is the Thursday 8 June, and we need to meet up at about fourish, at Waterloo station. Then we'll queue for hours because we might not all have priority tickets, so we need to be near the front. I'll point you to the glovelove organisey post when I make one. You can wear WHATEVER YOU LIKE, but if you come in a ball gown that will be good.

    There are no other trivialities, no.

    If you do want to return home after the thing instead of staying with us all at Cee's (me, Slemslem, alicamel, nerdcakes, calapine, whato) you'd probably want a train at about 11ish from London?

  • For Connotations, I have had to pay a one night deposit for everyone, so you owe me £53.50, which you can pay me whenever, and then we'll pay the other nights at the hotel at the time:)

  • I do not have a job for you but Japan seems awfully far away. ::frowns a bit::

  • I do not have a party for you, I do not like them.


This is ALL THE THINGS.

  • Another one actually finished a week ago, and is now tired out from all his partying. This is almost equally bad as not finishing. But I think I still win!


  • YOU CAN COME TO CUBA.


  • I do not particularly want to go hom straight after. I would be on a train until 4am-ish and my mother has been crying. I could obviously book myself a hotel room of some kind, except that I don't know anything about London. But possible space, yay!

Omg don't make your mother cry!

I have emailled kitten and asked her what she is up to:) If she is coming to cee's then you will probably need to stay in a hotel, but there is a very nice hotel we know of in London and possibly I would forsake a night on the floor for a night sharing a room with you in a comfortable hotel bed, if that would be satisfactory with you, so yes. It will all be okay and I will wait to hear from Claire:):) ::dances you::

Kitten and Soupytwist are totally sharing a hotel room, so we have a rather cramped but friendly space available for you at Cee's, and we PROMISE not to murder you. All of us. I can make them all sign statements to the affect if necessary. So yes, after the thing we'll probably all go out to eat and so forth and then back to Cee's for the night and then leave the following day. Cee lives really close to Angel tube station, so getting to Euston or whatever other London station your train home is from will be ever so easy yes. ::dances::

Yay! And Cee and I can meet pre-Connotations, if it the same Cee, and that all went down as planned. THANKS FOR THE PROMISE. It will set my mother's mind at rest and mine.

And ooo, tube. Another new experience. Will the wonders of London blind me with their glory? WHO IS TO SAY?

The tube is most unimpressive. I am to say and I say NO LONDON WILL NOT BLIND YOU AND NOR WILL ITS WONDERS for it is a horrible bad place of BAD. Good.
