Just snuck back on to say that I'm picking up the results of my degree today. And, y'know, most of the time I have a pretty good idea what I'm gonna get, and my flailing is sometimes show. Not this time. I literally don't know if I've passed or failed, and my hands are shaking.

So. Yeah. Luck wishes, pretty distractions, and reassurances that you'll not hate me when I fail would all be seriously appreciated.

I'm bloody terrified.

In other news, oh I want to make a post on RP, but I am a mod, and therefore not allowed. I wish my word wasn't important. It sure as hell shouldn't be. XD

I also want a Gaiman fic community. Or maybe a Pterry and Gneil fic comm. So Discworld, Neverwhere, American Gods, Good Omens, Johnny Maxwell, and any combination thereof. Maybe something to think about when I get regular access again.







Frantically distracting myself? Noooooo...



ETA: Dang. Skyehawke is down again. I think I need to find somewhere else to put things.

Well picking up my results was a HIDEOUS process, almost had me crying, I got shat on by a bird, but.

But but and but.

I have passed.

I have a degree.

More details in a bit when it's sunk in. :)


ETA:

Hokay. A little more info. The results were supposed to come out at 5 but they didn't. This is my fault. Or rather, this is the fault of the university, but it was my personal results that were at the bottom of the screw up, and the reason for the delay.

So half past six came, and no results. And I was standing by the noticeboard when my tutor came up and asked to have a word with me in her office. Not a good feeling, thank you. She said, essentially, that they only had a record of my having done 11 modules, when I had in fact done 12. I informed her I'd done 12, she nodded and zoomed off.

I stood outside thinking ohfuckohfuck and trying not to cry. Which was bad.

Eventually, she came back and pulled me into her office again, to tell me that they were trying to get hold of the man (affectionately known as 'the Fucker', lovely rhyming surname and well deserving of the nickname) who had taken the module. Apparently it wouldn't affect my degree-grade (congratulations, you have a degree, she said. Almost offhand. Like that wasn't the important bit) but it would mean that my marks on the board would be wrong numerically.

EVENTUALLY the marks got put up on the board. I was down in the canteen at that point, and my tutor came down and breathed wine fumes all over me and told me to go upstairs and find the man who could tell me the degree I got, since mine wouldn't be on the board. So I did - many more apologies, and I got a 2:2.

Yeah. They finally got me into a tutu.

Fuckin' milliways.

I guess this means I'm a proper grown up, huh?

Your Sagittarius Drinking Style

In vino veritas -- and, for you, in booze blurtiness. When battered, you'll spill all your friends' secrets and many of your own. Tactlessness aside, you are just plain fun to drink with. You are under the sign of serious partying (what else would you expect from the sign of Sinatra, Keith Richards, the Bush twins and Anna Nicole Smith)? You're the person who chat up everyone in the room, then persuades the entire crowd to travel somewhere else -- like a nightclub, or a playground, or Cancun. Good-natured hijinks are sure to ensue (including a high possibility of loopy groping; a spontaneous Sag like you is a brilliant booty call).

Your Signature Cocktails

A travel-loving sign, Sagittarius might be intrigued by drinks like Moscow mules, Singapore slings -- perhaps even a Long Island iced tea (not a bad option, given how much you can put away and still stay vertical). Party monster that you are, you're attracted to shots, like the ever-popular lemon drop. You rules pears, and you could use a nice pear cider right about now, come to think of it.

Your Celebrity Drinking Buddies

Britney Spears, The Bush twins, Margaret Cho, Lucy Liu, Brad Pitt, Anna Nicole Smith, Jay-Z, and Jake Gyllenhaal.

What's Your Alcohoroscope?

OH GOD YES

PEAR CIDER WITH JAKE GYLLENHAAL AND LUCY LIU!

So... I'm curious.

Which house would you put me in?
