Organisement!

Right, need to do actual update now. Happy (Belated) Birthday to karamarie_mckay for yesterday and Happy (In Advance) Birthday to ssotknapsack! - as I was clearly too inept to manage shoutouts yesterday and probably will be tomorrow too.

Tomorrow is a Designated Packing Day, so likelihood is that I'll make several small, irrelevant posts to pass the time. Things that need doing tomorrow include collection of silly mortar board for posing in, and fluffy hood for ceremony, and attendance at Graduation Dinner, which will be fun as I'll be in a dress and my legs, for various reasons involving my own ineptness, are currently an amusing patchwork of bruises. Hee!

Friday is the day of the ceremony. Looking forward to that, as it will be pompous, slightly ridiculous, and 400 years out of date. Hooray! And also strawberries on Main Court lawn. So in 48 hours I'll have left Cambridge nominally forever.

Of course, this won't actually be forever, as the place is addictive and there are far too many beloved geeks here acting as an incentive to make me return! Also, I have an open offer from some of my PlantSci mates to join them in the tea room whenever I'm up here.

Cambridge is full of pretty, overdressed people. Yay!

Wow. Such a big deal. Congratulations. Though I loved being at college. *hugs* It is such an intellectually stimulating environment. It explains why I work at one.

We can spare a base plate- sorry you didn't mean that sort of mortar did you!

Dang...how did I miss that you were graduating???

Congratulations and have fun on your big day!

Oh, this sounds so exciting! And congratulations, Eni! Have fun in the ceremony and Graduation Dinner!

I still remember mine. It was terrific.

I have a book of yours that I must give back before you go. How should I get it to you?

Would post be OK by you? I'm not in any hurry, but if I start leaving it till "the next time I'm in Cambridge" this could drag out for a while. If posting it is OK with you, I can e-mail you my address over summer. :)

I'll be conducting/singing the grace at the dinner tonight, watch out for me lol :)

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Yay you! I think that's the first time I've ever applauded after a grace. You guys sounded lovely! :)

[fumi-gation.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you :) I think I saw you earlier today as well (i'm not stalking, I swear) - I think your dad parked behind me in Queens' Lane? I held the door into Sherlock Court for someone who looked like you, not that we've met...lol

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! That was you? Awesome! (Yes, we ended up on Queen's Lane cos the silly Porters wouldn't open the car park till 3pm and we wanted to get going!) I was, by then, thankfully out of the graduation get-up!

[uisgebeatha.livejournal.com]

Yay, graduation! Good luck with that! And you're making me miss Cambridge already, so we really must meet up when I'm down for my next job interview. :)

I expect to see you in the tea room at some point!

Congrats dear, it must feel so strange to have finally got here. Hope it's all wonderful

(*pokes* -- where's my fic?)

(*hugs* *looks sheepish* It's on my desktop, about 50% done. Last few days have been a bit disorganised and in need of tying up, but it will be with you soon, I promise!)

Talking of loose ends, I just remembered that I left a library book in the laundry room. Crap.

Thanks for the birthday shoutout! :-D
