UCL continue to eagerly pursue me, with offers of an alumni card this time. The free offers available to holders of a UCL alumni card clearly demonstrate that whoever's sending them out envisions my financial situation as being a GOOD deal sweeter than it actually is. It's cottages4u and avis car rental - whereas I'm much more in the market for two-for-one at Subway. That sort of thing. Well, I have signed up, but if one single person from that year's intake gets in touch I will be INCREDIBLY surprised. If they did a dropout card I'd be more interested. A fat dropout card. A fat loser dropout card. A fat fuckwit loser dropout with body odour card. The guilt still attached to dropping out of UCL is immense, and still burns. Mysteriously Glasgow University (from which I did eventually graduate) have just done exactly the same thing as UCL, except with them I don't get a card or free use of the library. Because that actually might be, y'know. Useful. It's good to know, though, that I can drop into the UCL library any time I want. I didn't go ONCE when I was there, so I'm interested to find out where it actually is. As for the now, I've dropped out of my MSc at Strathclyde. But I did get a Postgrad Diploma. So does that make me a dropout or a graduate? Am I happy or sad? Flip a coin. Ohhhh. Never mind. Breathe deeply. Calm blue ocean. Calm blue ocean.
