the deed is done, the pensky is gone. forms were signed, abstracts printed, copies handed over. in return i had my enrollment withdrawn and i got this:
yes, a cup. 5 years. 5 years of torture and grief and i get a cup. still, im not really complaining. the 5 years is over. life can start again.
im sorry i havent been commenting on other blogs, this first week of teaching has been hectic and life complicated by family illness (my father-in-law is in hospital in sydney. he has had a little stroke and they are trying to prevent a bigger one. fingers crossed he will be ok). now there are just not enough minutes in the day. i thought things would slow down once the pensky was gone but it appears as tho there were many trillions of things just waiting to rush back in!
catch up soon

I hope your father-in-law is okay. Fingers crossed.
w00t! A cup! We get a keyring. :p
Hope your father in law is okay, and that things slow down for you soon. :)
Excellent. A cup to remind you of your years of agony. Heh! But a nice gesture.
Sorry to hear about your FIL, hope the hospital treatment works and that things settle down soon.
Perhaps the writing on the back of the cup says:Fill with Appropriate Alcohol and Drink. As Required!!!
Hope your FIL is getting better.
Teaching is very exhausting!!!'(Also, you are always asleep and in your pyjamas when I visit your blog!!)
Humpf. In MY day, we didnt even get a pat on the back. Lucky to get permission to BUY our own cups. If we could afford to. Humpf.
So, no longer a student, hey? Yeehah!
Best wishes to your FIL and you both. Fingers crossed.
yes i have been trying to catch up on my sleep 2paw, but i am a bit more awake today :)
hope FIL is ok, you are sorta-right, life just gets busier just when you thought it couldn't. If there ever was evidence of a higher power with a wicked sense of humor, that would have to be good evidence. I'm envious of the mug, I think I got a signed receipt to say they 'officially' received it. Do you get to fill the mug with drink and smash it Russian or Greek style at the ceremony?
I guess it's a nice gesture but really, what you deserve is fanfares and a ticker tape parade.
YAY! Good for you!
And I hope your FIL's okay.
