I now have a piece of paper
More catching up-
Um, I graduated. After taking semesters off and forgetting to transfer credits and killer mold and crazy significant others and brothers and suspension and crying in front of the dean and the geology class from hell and flattened affect and nervous breakdowns resulting in failing all my classes for a semester, I finally am done, with no loopholes. I haven't really been thinking about it, because I'm used to fucking things up at the last minute, but it's strange not having to worry about it anymore. I'm free to leave Oberlin, with a degree. Wow. Also, a large amount of my family came just to see me graduate, which made me feel really special. On the biological side, my parents were there, thankfully leaving my brother at home. V, Connor, Sierra & James all travelled out, and Steel and Anna stayed in town. I am lurved. Senior week was the usual- dinners and the creek and Smiths and movies and and one final glorious trip to Scooly's. (with the fun aided and abetted by the exploration of two "special" shops... Steel now has reading material to teach her about opression, and if I need to secure anything to anything else I have lovely purple rope to do it with.)
...And I didn't fall off the stage or anything.
