I did not fall off the stage while graduating from college. I still distinctly recall being so wound up and nervous that I typoed a line about my stomach being in a square knot to 'my stomach's in a square!' XD I didn't properly complete all courses until that August, lord help me, and oh the relief when that last pass grade landed! There was a solid, dreamless night's sleep after that, in the mountains of Colorado.

Kitty icon used because, on the day of graduation, there were post-ceremony snuggles with Daisy and many others at the cat shelter, which included introducing Daisy to my mother. I still miss this cat. I know she's happy as a purring torbie can be - she was adopted by a fellow volunteer, and the last I heard, had charmed that gal's entire family. But I still miss her.

I'll post about the End Racism in the OTW campaign later, because yes, I'm so very getting in on that. Already am, in fact. I just wanted to mark the day first.

Even with six quals from four unis I've never actually managed to attend a graduation ceremony.

As a newly minted BA grad I was in hospital for you know what and as an MA I was starting a new job.

The other four were all done while working full time.

Congratulations on graduating and kitty snuggles!
