P.S. Would you like a Christmas card from moi? I have a limited supply of cards with piles of gifts (visual representations thereof, not actual gifts) and lots of green sparklies, but I would reserve one for you if you like, because you seem like someone who would appreciate a card with sparklies on it.
Did you know that after Winter Solstice (last exam of my undergraduate career EVER is 21 Dec. There's irony there) I am free as a bird and eligible for my B.A. Not that a simple B.A. designation is much to boast of at my advanced age, but having stopped and started so many times I'm rather in awe of the fact that I seem to be actually finishing now. THere's a light at the end of the tunnel, and no, I don't *think* it's the light of the oncoming train.
You didn't actually ask for this info-dump all about my life, but I decided to volunteer it anyway, because I'm pushy that way, and it's much pleasanter than talking about how but for the grace of God you could've ended up as one of Rupert Murdoch's children.
A Sparkly Christmas card would be lovely. I haven't been joining in the Christmas card thing because I know that I'm far too apathetic to join in and send the cards back and didn't want to take without giving. But if you're offering, yes, please. I'll go and sign up.
And way to go! It's a real achievement to stick it out and get the BA. And it *is* a real achievement, you know, to battle ill health as you've done, not to mention holding down a demanding job as well. Don't underestimate yourself, you deserve many, many congratulations. Please feel free to 'info dump' me at any time. I'm *so* pleased for you.
you could've ended up as one of Rupert Murdoch's children.

Eek! Now that's a deeply scary thought.
