about a square peg in a round hole

An email to my ex-lecturers at HELP Institute (now HELP University College - Phwoar…):

Ola!

It’s Yee Yang… Came across the HELP convocation 2006 website yesterday and couldn’t help but notice that cosmic karma has seen it fit to bestow me with a complimentary upgrade from a 2.2 to a 2.1 degree classification!

Obviously, I’m chuffed, but the thing is, right, I just cannot bring myself to accept the honorary misclassification, nor can I in good faith misrepresent my scholarly prowess… But cheers anyway for the offer, ya?

How are you guys anyway?

Warmest regards,
Lee Yee Yang

Hehe. But you know. It’s really cool that so many of my classmates have achieved so much more than I did. Good on them, right? (Bitterness slowly creeping in but rapidly vanquished…) Especially Jennifer Lee Tze-Hui! First Class Honours, UWE. Big up to you girl!
