naanima: (wtf)
I don't go online for two days and I have approx 80 backlog entries to go through. Damn, you people write lots. I feel guilty for not reading all of it, but I'm nursing a hangover, and trying not to puke over the keyboard.

I have graduated. Got the certificate that says so, wore the robe (they are damn fidgety, the hood kept on sliding off my shoulder, and pinning it to the front of my bra was uncomfortable), didn't get the hat though. You only get to wear it when you become a POST-GRAD! ARGHH! Unfair, high-school graduates in the US gets the hats, we don't! I feel cheated.

The ceremony was yesterday evening, and it was GOOD, though it did start off rather boring. Too much talking, and I fell asleep half way through the organ music.

Highlights of Graduation:
Second floor of Winthrop hall looked damn cool all lit up.

The organ is HUGE! It takes up a WHOLE wall, and considering the wall is like 25-30 meter wide, and about as tall that's damn impressive.
  • And the organ music sounded like GAME music! Honest. I kept on making a mental list of what the music was best suited. At one point, we got Introduction of Main Boss, then Character Death, and I'm sure at one point or another we got Earth/nature music. It was hardcore.


  • The after ceremony reception was cool. Yummy food, and really good wine. Had four glasses, and was definitely beyond tipsy (hence nursing of queasy stomach at present time). But so good. [livejournal.com profile] londobell was there, and that made everything so much better.

    On a dare by boyfriend (and under the influence) pulled up and my shirt and my bra. Doesn't technically count as flashing as there were no one around. I hope. It was dark.

    It was just a great night, and having a sense of closure make it easier somehow.

    No, no. I'm merely starting on a new degree at a new university so I can get a job. Arts degree aren't worth much here, but commerce does, and that's what I'm doing now.

    I have been told I'm masochistic. I tend to agree.

    No, but it came DAMN close. So damn close. If only it had. The woman who was playing the organ was really into it.

    We do? YES!!!! MWAHAHAHBWAHAHAHAHA! I will have the HAT!!! WAHAHAHAHA!

    ....... I will not hit you for that as I probably do deserve it.

    Omeidetto!
    Saw you already, but anyways. Hope the hangover wasn't that bad.

    Btw, did you count how many different university shields were hung on the walls? ^_^v That's one good way of passing the time. Considering I always end up losing count half way through or at the very end >_<

    I didn't. Lost count. But londobell did, apparently we are looking at 50-something (I can't remember the exact number).
