rfmcdonaldConvocation went quickly enough. I got to see people again, which was nice after my prolonged stay. Mary Walsh--recipient of an honourary degree--was hilariously funny as always; Scott Flemming's valedictorian speech didn't really deserve that title, unfortunately, unlike Caolan Moore's excellent speech last year.. And now, my undergraduate career is complete--BA with Honours, English.
It's unfortunate, I think, that I'm not particularly excited me this. I'm not feeling particularly overjoyed; I'm not feeling any sense of relief. I'm not feeling much of anything at present, apart from a desire to finish episode 2 of Cosmos and perhaps watch GoldenEye. Ah, as T.S. Eliot wrote in The Wasteland,
Hopefully this will change. Ah well.
Later, a celebratory family dinner was held at the International Restaurant, after which we went to the local blockbuster to pick up movies. I picked GoldenEye and Gosford Park on one-week loans. Saw Brian there, which was nice; I also got a card, to get the more discounts.

[a]nd indeed there will be time
To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"
Time to turn back and descend the stair
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair--
(They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!")
My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the pin
My necktie rich and modest but asserted by a simple pin--
(They will say: But how his arms and legs are thin!")
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
Hopefully this will change. Ah well.
