'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.

Because I am petty I would be tempted to say something to her when on stage with her.
I have this mental image of "accidentally" dropping her empty diploma-case when "trying" to hand it to her. Or, you know, smearing the outside of it with petroleum jelly.
BTW, can you go to graduation, but sit with the audience? Take pictures with the students you are fond of afterward?
I don't think you should be forced to hand the person anything you don't want to. Fuck that shit.
