I have just finished my GCSE exams! I am a free man who can do whatever he wants.

Fuck Education.

...Yes, in a few months I'll be back at school.

Nice work.  Have fun in more school, I remember that feeling well.

"YES, I am done with school."

"So, where you going to college?"

"Fuck."

Truly, I will relish the extra seven hours each day I have to constantly refresh the 'board and read all the old threads.

Also, I don't have to get up early anymore so I can post after midnight! Wow.

So... yeah, I'm back now. The post-graduation road trip bonanza stretched very long, thanks to some bad road directions and parents convinced that we could do everything in one trip, as long as we stayed as miserable as possible the entire time. Whoo!

Anyway, thanks for the well-wishing. I, too, am on the "done with education! ... wait, no, more education" track, although I hope graduate school will be rad. I filed my housing stuff and everything, so maybe this will actually work out. As for the photo requests: here is a cap-and-gown shot. (I'm the one on the left, looking slightly woozy. It was a long ceremony.) And here's an exciting bonus photo taken right before the Senior Gala (College Prom, basically), in which I appear to be cursing God for some misfortune.

you look pretty unhappy about what God is doing to you at that point.

Well, sure, if you insist, Mr. Flattery. The highlights:

* My father spent the entire packing process harrassing me about how much stuff I own ("gee, Dad, sorry I have possessions") and generally being anti-supportive the entire damn time. This summed up to being about at saturation with him before we even left.
* I had to vacate my room by 5:00 the day of graduation, which meant that celebrating got cut short for one last burst of PACKING PANIC, leaving a lot of things undone in the rush to GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT WHAT THE FUCK.
* The first stop was in Columbus, in which I attempted to get information despite my parents following around and... well, treating me like less than adult. (Hint to my mother: if you really want to follow me into the graduate housing office, this is fine, but let me ask the questions, okay? I am a freaking graduate student. I should be able to ask about this crap.) Combined with how genuinely disoriented I was about the whole apartment-hunting process, I immediately became very tired and very low-self-esteem.
* After that... Minnesota, where my grandmother is in very bad shape and I ran into some health problems of my own, such that I spent the entire long weekend either awkward, desperately bored, in pain, or a combination thereof. I really did not comport myself in a way I am proud of, but at that point I was epically tired.
* All of these anecdotes were interwoven with days on end in a car -- cramped, boring, long, inexplicably tiring... gah.

So, yeah, I'm whiny.
