I never went to my graduation because I couldn't bear to wear a cap and gown as I would look completely stupid. They sent my certificate through the post as I was working in a different city.
If I had gone I certainly wouldn't be grinning like a Cheshire cat. I had earned my degree through hard work, not been gifted it from a muddy puddle. I have seen many a graduation picture of friends, family and neighbours, not a single one is as ridiculous as Jack's. Gurning manically at the camera like an idiot. Turns my stomach.
Back from my third primary vaccination. Hope the side effects are the same as last time, slept like a baby for hours on end.
ETA I wouldn't be surprised if Jack bought the gown and the rest of the outfit instead of hiring them like most people do. I can imagine her parading around the house thinking she is some sort of academic.
