This afternoon, I received a notice that a parcel was awaiting collection at the post office and I knew it could only be one thing: at long last, my testamur had arrived!  I had twelve minutes to walk down to the post office and pick it up, so with a sigh of relief at the lack of rain, off I went.  Ten minutes later, the official piece of paper, declaring me to have "fulfilled all obligations and prescribed conditions" of my Bachelor of Arts, was in my hands.

I must admit, it's a very boring-looking piece of paper, but it is the real thing.  It's such a relief to have it in my hands at last!

Here I am, modelling the most expensive piece of paper I'll ever own...

It's official!

Your real name isn't Buneater?! Since when?!


CONGRATS!

Congratulations! It's a fantastic feeling, isn't it? It also seems odd that one piece of admittedly fancy paper can symbolise those years you've dedicated and the work you've put in.

Thank-you muchly! And I had to put "Buneater" on there, or no-one would have believed it was me. ;)

Ah yes - very good point! You never know, it might happen eventually.

Shhh! Don't tell!

Thank-you! I'm quite happy to finally have it in my hands.

It definitely is a fantastic feeling. At last, I can forget about all the study and procrastinating and essay-writing and just look smugly at my piece of paper. That's a good feeling indeed.

That reminds me that my diploma should be in the mail soon too. Are you going to frame yours? :p

Tremendous!!!

*grugs*

Look at that shiny red seal! Doesn't it look official?

I suppose I might, eventually. I suppose I can't keep it in that postal-cylinder forever. Of course, it would help if it were a standard sized piece of paper, wouldn't it?

I hope your diploma arrives soon.

It does look official. Boring, but official.

It's quite a huge seal, isn't it?

Yep - that's it. That's your reward for all that study and pain and fees and other people borrowing the exact books you need from the library just when you need them...

You know, it would be much nicer if it came with a bag of lollies of your choice.

Ooh, they tell you when shits there waiting for you? Good to know.

Well, according to the detailed letter I received a couple of months ago, the parcel would first be delivered to your door and if you weren't there, then it would go to the post office. But yes - if there's a parcel waiting for you, you'll be told.

Come to think of it, Photoshopping might be more likely to get me a better job...

Oh, congratulations! How exciting. You can now hang that on the wall in your writing area and use it as a distraction on those days when the muses abandon us. XD

♥ Again, many kudos to you, dearheart!

Congratulations!

When I got mine they included a sheet of paper with a detailed breakdown of all my marks in all my modules. My delight on receiving it was marred somewhat by the realisation I got 33% in my advanced quantum mechanics exam (But luckily, I still passed!)

Congratulations :) Still have to wait another year for mine...and I can definitely sympathize with that "most expensive piece of paper" bit...oh, and the "other people borrowing the exact books you need from the library just when you need them" part too!
