Anyone got any cheese? I need it to go with this whine.
I know it seems like a little thing- and it is when you think about the really terrible things that are going on everywhere-
but...well,
I am going to miss my commencement ceremony for my Doctorate,
and I am just a little bit bummed about it.
Graduation is on the east coast and that kind of trip is just not in the budget right now.
Of course, my husband offered-but he and I both know that it would be really irresponsible.
It's just that you get this cute little beret when you get your Doctorate- and these robes that look like they came from a Oxford- because they are the same design.
I was really OK about it until I got an email that they were putting my name in the commemorative program even though I would not be there.
I felt as though it was a medal being bestowed posthumously (I can be overly dramatic ....)
Well- what the heck.
Like I said- there are more important things to think about, right?

in answer to the q there are more importnat things to think about?
Well yes, but no, but maybe..
Can we make some fun plans to celebrate you on the day how about afternoon tea with a former Oxford resident - well it was a village 30miles away but its close and if you need it I have a really nice Welsh coastal Cheddar its some really good cheese and its strong enough to over power any whine!!!
you worked hard and deserve to whine a little. You will be missed i'm sure. Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment Pj
Thanks to you both- and the celebratory tea sounds wonderful. And I want to hear all about Oxford- going these is my dream. Save me some cheese!
I vote for doing something special with you. Maybe something a bit stronger than tea? How about coffee?
coffee is good too....
