Continual challenges



For now I will only say that Margaret's surname was not Dyngham but Byngham. Bloody hell. At least I knew that her son's name was Raff and not Jaff.

Notice that while others wore a red carnation to their exam, I wore a fake rose with a blue eyeball in the middle.

Keep plowing!

Why do you all looked semi dressed-up to write an exam? And what's with the carnations?

I wear hideous green scrubs day-in and day-out... in May, I will graduate to navy blue :P

In Oxford serious events are attended in gowns, and uber-serious events in sub-fusc. Matriculation, graduation, and exams = uber-serious.

Carnations are white at the start of the examination period. You put them into red ink and by the end of the examination they will have turned red. We reckon it's a tradition started by the guild of ink and carnation sellers.

I prefer it to scrubs :)
