Through the square window...

You know, of all the days to start coming down with a cold, the day before graduation/moving out would not have been my first choice. Ugh. Especially seeing as I had to spend the morning walking around town in the rain trying to find something vaguely presentable to wear tomorrow (which I did eventually manage to do). And now I have to pack and clean and stuff and still try and get an early night.

(It doesn't help that I got no sleep last night, although at least lying awake for hours gave me loads of time to plan out my new fic, which I'm really excited about.)

However! I'm excited about graduation; not because I'm super looking forward to, like, starting my life as a Responsible Adult, but because Exeter University's Chancellor, who will be giving me my degree, is FLOELLA BENJAMIN. Awesome. You all wish you had a Chancellor as cool as mine.

Fuck, and now it's nearly half seven and I still have so much to do. NO TIME! THERE'S NEVER ANY TIME!!1, etc.

Floella Benjamin once copped a 'tude with my ex-boss when my ex-boss asked her to put out her cigarette. TRUFAX. I'm sure she will be lovely at your graduation, though. :D

No 'tude was copped! That might have been quite amusing, but I'm glad she was actually awesome. :D

FLOELLA BENJAMIN! If I hadn't been offline for a few days I'd have asked you to get me her autograph. While you were graduating, naturally.

I probably could have got one for you; other people got hugs, so she probably would've been okay with an autograph.

Wow, I'm jealous! We had Sanjeev Bhaskar. He was nice and his congratulations were impressively sincere, but it did seem a bit random and pointless. He admitted himself that he applied to Sussex and didn't even get in, so who is he to give out our degrees???
