The end of another chapter. Officially no longer a student.
The two hour ceremony was, honestly, quite boring. But being a once-in-a-lifetime thing, there was no good excuse to skip it.
For many reasons, today will be memorable. But for more negative than positive reasons:
It was raining. It rained during the procession over to the hall. It rained after the ceremony when 1000+ people were outside taking pictures. The best shelter...under the trees across the hall.
The ceremony was in a certain place that I haven't been to in perhaps two years. But I can remember exactly what it was like to be there then.
There were three people that I wanted to be there: (1) my family - despite being there, they seemed totally uninterested; (2) RY - she wanted to come, but couldn't get the day off; and (3) a person I did not actually invite, and so was not there.
July 17, 2008 will be memorable...for all the imperfections.
