relievedAttached at the end of this message is an alphabetical listing of graduates by degree type that you should print and bring with you to the Dome. (The attachment can be opened easily using the Webmail format.) This will be the order of diploma distribution so it is important that you align yourselves in this order for the processional. After the ceremony, you will be directed by faculty marshals to recess to the robing area. Immediately upon recessing behind the curtain, you should step out of the line (remaining in alphabetical order, A near the curtain, Z toward the revolving door).
Open attachment. My name is not there. It takes me several minutes of frantic searching before I notice that neither are the names of any of my classmates there. Several seconds later, I notice a name I am familiar with - L, who graduated last year. It's the wrong list, attached.
I almost died, right then, O Best Beloved. I really did.
