Lorne ,'Time Bomb'
[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!
So I just stopped by my registrar's office, and it turns out that the deadline for submitting an intent to graduate form was in mid-November. Ooops. They say I can still get my degree in the spring if I submit it now, but there are no ceremonies for naughty latecomers. Oh well. If all goes well, I'll be having one in two years anyway.
'Ouise, do you think mom will be annoyed at me?
Well, as long as the ceremony is the only thing you'll miss, I think she'll stop at exasperated. Oops, indeed. Isn't this the kind of thing that you're supposed to have mentioned to you by an advisor person? Oh well.
I hope that you're having a good day otherwise.
I didn't bother to go to my graduation ceremony. And I'm quite sure I didn't fill out any forms about graduating... Still, since I was in a professional program, that might have been taken as given. Also, they did just tell us to sign things and they took care of the details.
I think that if I hadn't switched to a double major and a history advisor, I probably would have been told to fill out the form at the start of the year, and then everything would have been taken care of. As it was, my advisor had enough trouble remembering I was a fourth year when we were going over what classes I still needed to take. I'm not surprised that he forgot about graduation.
'Course, now that I'm remembering how deadly boring graduation ceremonies are when you're in them, I'm not sure that I mind.
Elena, why didn't you go? Scheduling problem/out of town, or just didn't give a damn?
Yes.
Elena was an unwitting slut. I, on the other hand, am purposefully palindromic.
I skipped my high school ceremony for the "I never want to set foot in that school again" reason, but I did go to my other two graduations. The first (BA) was unbearable because it was held in the gymnasium with about 2000 grads. My second was smaller since I graduated at the September convocation.
Hey, did anyone else see Principal Wood on CSI: Miami?
I fell asleep at my Uni grad. It was one of the most tedious things I have ever attended, and they pronounced my name wrong. I think I didn't technically graduate from my theatre school. And I have no recollection of my HS grad, except that, again, they pronounced by name wrong.
Man, that Jon. You make him an honourary Canadian and he starts taking all the good numbers! That's not very Canadian!
Elena, STOP ALL ANGEL TAUNTNG!!! I just checked on the Canoe.ca TV Listings and it's not on this Monday on ASN. It is on Space on Thursday, so I hope it's the new episode, but we're going to be a week behind on ASN.
