well, I did it. I dressed up, and got graduated. It was the best day of my life. I don't need to get married now. Graduating from uni is much more appealing. I wanna go again! I wanna go again! I started the day, after only five hours of sleep, and we made the long trek southwards to Norwich. I saw all my pals, hugged, kissed them all, and gave them wee cards with my name, addy and e mail addy in it. I gave my teacher this lovely cerise silk covered photo album, with bits of tissue paper between the pages, and mounted photos of the boat trip we took at the start of June as a class outing. I saw Darren, and we chatted, and hugged, and chatted and hugged some more, and grinned like buffoons and I dragged him round everywhere with me, running around, as my mum put it, like an overexcited 5 year old. I even tried flapping my arms cos of my gown. I had to. My gown was dark blue, and my "colours" were salmon pink. And I had to tuck my fringe under my mortar board hat. All those tears and stuff! All the bad things that happened to me! I mighty not have got a 1st class degree, but heck, I think I learned a lot along the way. And I got a bunch of ace pals. And I know what sort of people I don't like. Now, its over. I got the yearbook, (a directory of everyone who graduated and their addys, and e mails- a stalkers guide to UEA) a teddybear mascot (mum bought it for me. I named it after my best pal. These things need names). I got my photos back from graduation. I even got tickets for the after party, which was a waste of money, cos people just gatecrashed anyway. I got proffessional photos taken of me holding a rubber tube (oo eer missus!). I got hugs. I got love. I got happy. Now the ride is over, but in retrospect, I enjoyed it. I'm glad I stayed aboard, even when I felt sick and wanted to get off. I wanna go again! I wanna do another degree! its got to be more fun than being an adult in the world of responsibility! I wanna go and sit with my pals, slacking, for the rest of my years, discussing things that need to be discussed on a similar level of intelligence! I wanna be surrounded by young people, loads of them! I miss my pals. Especially my favourite pal. right better go now. Off out to posh dinner with boyfriend and the folks.
