Or walk off the stage when she gets up there.
Oh, I like this idea!
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Oh, Kat, what a mess!
I don't understand, though: if she's not getting a diploma at graduation, what will you be handing her? A blank piece of paper?

Everyone gets a blank jacket. Once you return the gown you get the diploma paper. Since we get charged for lost gowns.
Also walking and not getting a diploma because you still have oustanding requirements is relatively common at UCLA, even in grad programs.

Oh god, Kat. I'm all flaily hands for you. I'd be furious...beyond disgusted...perhaps even apoplectic in your place.
How do these people even imagine they will succeed.
I knew a dude like this is high school. He buffaloed everyone and got by on sheer bs.
In the end, he cheated at West Point. I don't know how deeply he ruined his life, but I can only hope that this chick gets some of her own.

Ugh, Kat. What a mess. I hope for as little drama as possible on graduation day.

We had to buy our gowns in high school, but we were also given the blank jackets during the ceremony. We were threatened that if we didn't behave at graduation, we wouldn't be given the real diploma, which I find kind of ridiculous at the time.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
But if that's the case, why should I go at all?
Is it worth it for you, personally, to go for the other students who want you there? Especially the nonfiction independent study guy?

Totally. People walked and got blanks for *outstanding library fines* when I graduated from college.

Sorry for leaving giant holes in the conversation. I just don't want this hanging out there. But it's hard for me to not talk about it. So I deleted. Call me paranoid.

I like the idea of walking off stage when she walks up.
My first thought is that she wants to do something stupid in your presence and while I would not want to deal with that myself, I would not want to make the other observers deal with it either.
What a bitca. Seriously.

I missed some in an edit, but yeah, I graduated from HS in 1987, I didn't have my diploma until about 30 days later. I had to go back to the HS to pick it up in a lovely covered book.
That SAT shit is no joke. That can live with you forever.
