So four years is a long time...

Wed Dec 17, 2008, 12:07 PM

Mood: Relief
Listening to: 'We Never Change' - Coldplay
Reading: Alichino
Watching: Desert Punk
Playing: Odin Sphere

Four years was a long time. I feel that I only just scraped through in the end, and watching people walk up and receive levels of honours made me feel like a bit of a pleb...but ultimately I felt excited, and relieved of course.

I suppose it's a bit of an anti-climax after spending 3 weeks actually teaching...and with the strain of still not knowing what I'll be doing next year.

But really, I feel achievement. My family gave me lovely gifts and showered me with congratulations. Let's hope I can hack it from here on out.

Graduation has stopped being the light at the end of the tunnel and has become the light I see when I look behind me.

Congradulations!
Feel bad I can't celebrate with you but I'm really proud to know you, amazed at your determination and excited for whatever is install for you.

why do people keep thinking that congratulations has a 'd' in it? More than one person has spelt it that way.

Thank you very much for the kind words, I feel special

It'd be cool to celebrate with you, whenever you get home we need to celebrate stuff anyway, so we can roll all our celebrating into one or something

I guess it's cause people sound it out and pronounce a d instead of a t or something, but always good to know.

Yes we will have to make one massive celebratory day or something! It'll be great

Well done, I know what 4 years at uni is like, so I can imagine the release
