After Graduation... (old diary entry)

The graduation ceremony was of course all pomp and circumstance.  It was both an honor and a small discomfort that I am so much younger than many of the others graduating.  I would have finished with a Triple First, but I really did not want to receive such an award at the ceremony when I am barely 121, and it was much more fun to blow off my last semester of biological nano technologies and spend it with the Patraxians instead.  My teachers there encouraged me to practice my glamour looming, pushing me one day to "become a snail" and another day to see how long I could show my hair to be, or what colors I could effect on my skin.  Why such an ability is needed for the role of The Chatelaine, I have still not been informed, but I trust the wisdom of the elders and try to work my loomed abilities to their potential.  Well, at least until it comes to biological nano technologies...

For my graduation present, I received a beautiful gown from my House in the Arcalian colors of green and brown.  I also surprisingly received a gift from one of my private Patrexian teachers as well -- a hypnotizing necklace that shows current wind conditions by displaying clouds that move across a sky.  I will always remember the ways that she taught me to connect to portals of time through meditation and scan into the future through meditative artwork.

But if I have to be honest, it's my love of fashion that I credit her the most with.

School's out!  Hooray!  How long before I get a TARDIS?
