Oh, yay. I was starting to worry!
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Yay, Aims! I was worried about you.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Me too! Glad to know you're okay.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Big loving painless hugs to Aims! (And also P-C, TB, Bartleby and all the other convalescents.)
ION, humph. I have committed eBay, but one of my items didn't sell and the other went for less than I'd hoped--though, still, it's probably four times what Half Price Books would have given me and none of the other local stores even wanted it at all, so there's that. Now I'm itching to run home and go over the local bookstore's other rejects, and ponder my options.

Now I just have to get the word out subtly to my co-workers. Maybe an email.
Nora, I might send out something like "Hey guys, due to a lot of different factors, I will not be graduating as planned. Unfortunately, it's a done deal, and I would rather not discuss it, even though I know that you guys would be supportive. So, thanks in advance for your support and discretion and I'll let you know when the party is later :)"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I would also mention that you WILL be graduating, but in October.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Aimee!
OK, I just took a nap for a little while, and I'm still groggy, but in much less pain.

Aims! I'm glad you're home safely.
You could also say something like this, Nora:
"My graduation has been postponed until the fall. I'm looking forward to celebrating with you then."
I'm glad they've been good about talking with you and realizing your performance was such an aberration from the good work you've been doing.

Welcome home, Aimee Star! Get all better.
