Graduation blurbs

I am graduating tomorrow.

Pre-graduation nightmares:

1.The outfit.

So everybody in the world sized 6-8 decided they all had to have that dress off ASOS and every other dress which I liked seemed to be inappropriate in one way or the other. One was decent until the designer had itchy hands and decided to snip two holes at the waist-- which I'm fine with style-wise but this is the middle of winter we are talking about and I can't have wind blowing through me from all the wrong places-- and the rest either require boobage (now where can I get those from?) or the long legs of a 5'7 model(which will end up as a maxi-dress on me). Plus there's always the worry of sizes not fitting right and dresses not looking the way you'd imagine it to when you purchase them online.

Then I found the perfect dress while hopefully browsing in French Connection. Not only was it 75% off its original gobsmacking 3 digit price-tag, it was a size 6, and made out of material that actually kept me warm!Then I tried it on and found out that a Size 6 in French Connection is equivalent to a size...10. 

So I called in a few people to alter the dress but everyone told me it will take a week or longer (where is my miracle speedy dress-making aunt when I need her!). Tried to be all Martha Stewart DIY by adding a black sash/ribbon to the back but it only pulled the dress into a scrounged up sequinned potato sack. Then a "Duhhhh" moment hit me that 90% of the time this dress is going to be covered by my robe anyway so the loose sides are not going to show too much! Plus, it's meant to be a tunic dress.

 Tunic dresses are supposed to look like pyjamas right..? Right?

My nightgown.
A tad bit bling, hopefully it doesn't look like Rudolph vomited Christmas all over me! 

Problem solved.

2.Shoes

 I swear, it was almost the dress all over again.

Thankfully, Red Herring designs shoes down to a size 3 for people with tiny feet like mine.

The only problem is that my right foot is slightly smaller than the left.

Thanks to my cynical imagination of accidentally kicking off a shoe halfway across the stage whilst walking towards the dean, my shoes are now so stuffed with in-soles, heel grips and toe pads that 

 my feet will probably be deformed tomorrow. Note to self: Make dad carry a pair of flats for emergency wear.

Problem solved.

3.I'm down with a cold and made it worse by walking around in -2degrees' Celsius London for 4 hours straight today.

Note to self: Lots of makeup to disguise my Rudolph the red nose reindeer nose, and be sure to stare at the spotlights should I ever feel like sneezing into the dean's hands while collecting my scroll.

4.I have a pimple the size of Russia on my chin.

my webcam decided to have mercy on me but it really is there.

It is less visible when I smile.
Note to self: Slap on a blob of toothpaste on it tonight and fix on a permanent smile tomorrow.

4.If the worst case scenario happens that I look like a potato sack, my shoes fly off the stage, and I am caught on camera sneezing into the dean's face, then..at least I have a graduation to remember right?

Am I psyched?

Just a little.
