A catch up in one day
Since I last posted what have I done?
I went to an engagement and indulged in red wine
I did the hardest puzzle in the world til I started the Mona Lisa thousand piece puzzle
I went Go-Karting (slowest driver on the track award)
I turned 23 (sob moan don't want wrinkles argh)
I got offered a promo/change of job and turned it down.. (yes that's right and it included a car and phone)
Discovered there was a Max Brenner in St Ives (major discovery for a chocoholic como yo)
I GRADUATED FROM UNI TODAY
Photos will follow. It was weird, I thought I didn't care too much but then seeing everyone, and being dressed, and the look on my parents face when they saw me, and the buzz, and I realised 5 years of my life are tied up in that building, in those people, and one of the best years of my life too - and I thought of Barcelona, and my very first Contemporary Culture class with Cathy Cole, and the things I have done with uni mates, although many involve alcohol, many do not... and I thought about what I have been given through my education, and what I can do with it - and I felt proud, and relieved, and sad, and happy - and glad, gladness was my greatest emotion - because I have lived these five years as fully as it is possible to live them - and I feel no regret.
(ok one tiny regret but let that remain between Nat and Tan)
I also thought of the friends that I met that I may not see for a long time (Pitter) and the friends that I don't see as often... the people I have known and drifted away from.
I guess in one rush, I saw my uni life and what kind of a person it has made me. And I am glad.
Ok enough emotional blubbering - I think I am Pre-MSing - because I feel so close to bawling - ye gods. This entry deserves the endless cow: note icon.
I have also neglected my email shamefully.
And been madly working on:
