I woke up a few minutes ago. I’m sitting in my new little place, having a cup of tea, and am watching my own graduation ceremony. It’s a bit weird, to say the least.
Usually, getting ready for a graduation ceremony is a long affair. Clothes, make-up, relatives, post-parties. All that takes time and preparation. Not today.
Who has ever attended a graduation ceremony in a bathrobe? Who has ever had coffee while listening to the graduation speaker? Who has ever been several hundred miles away from graduation while being right there?
Our graduation speaker talked about the pre-corona and post-corona world. There are certain things I won’t miss – like the complete lack of concern for a public health care system. But there are also parts I will not accept.
Social distancing is slowly turning into human distancing. That’s wrong.
Congratulations to my class of 2020!

I’d take a collar and leash over a mortarboard and gown any day. Much more relaxing in a dressing gown too. Congrats BTW 😊

First off, congrats on your accomplishment! I had a full ride scholarship and screwed it up to end up in the military. I hope to get back to college and complete my degree. It is a big accomplishment, so hold on to that! I’ve heard of people attending a graduation wearing a gown with nothing underneath, but not a robe!
Francesca Demont
Thank you! I hope it will eventually pay off. Right at the moment, the prospects are pretty bleak, but that will hopefully just be a temporary set-back. The ‘gown over nature’ was my back-up option…..
Molly
Congratulations. That is an amazing achievement and you should be really proud of yourself

Congratulations on your finishing your academic achievement, your beginning your maternal achievement, and your commencing your discovery of your new beginning! Great wardrobe mistress!!! Should I imagine great things lie ahead for you or should I fantasize about your embarking on new exciting adventures as the Mother of Kink!?!
Francesca Demont
Thanks!!! Well, if my plans work out, I’ll change and conquer the world. If I like it, I’ll be nice. 😉

Congratulations! Surreal times but well done x
Francesca Demont
Thanks! Let’s just hope we don’t all turn into Salvador Dali paintings…..
Bee
Congratulations! I have to admit, I didn’t even bother attending my graduation ceremony at all.
Francesca Demont
I think that is a good option as well. Though this would have been my first ‘graduation ceremony’ – we don’t really do that in Germany. xoxo

Congratulations! I know all this feels odd and really like a dystopian fantasy, but seeing that graduations and such are still happening, shows that the world hasn’t stopped, only slowed down.
Francesca Demont
Thanks, Devie. It’s true, and maybe a little bit of a slow down is not all that bad. I just wished it hadn’t taken a pandemic. Love your new style!!
Marie Rebelle
And congratulations to you, Francesca. You did it! Love the image of you in the robe 🙂
