To be a College Graduate...

I graduated on Saturday! The whole ceremony took only 50 minutes, and it started on time which is not a common thing to happen on any kind of ceremonies in this place.  It was nice.  I got to do my hard-rock signs, which earned me a glare from one of the persons in the schoolboard.  I could have flipped her the bird.  But didn't.  Instead I did it again when someone stood in front of me to take pictures. lol.  The thing about my school is that they are extremely catholic.  It's an Opus Dei University.  So you can imagine all the things that probably popped into her head when she saw me do that. 
 
And then the party.  Think of Janice (Chandler's annoying gf, in Friends) when I say this: Oh my God! I had 14 different types of liquor to make different kinds of cocktails (martinis, cosmopolitans, Long Island Ice Tea, Sex on the Beach, Tequila Sunrise, etc) and we finished everything!! I mean, I, alone, finished a bottle of Kalhua.  Funny thing about Kahlua.  It has almost, almost, the same Alcohol content as Tequila.  Did I know that? NO! But I do now!!!
 
Something that really pissed me off that day: Both my best friends didn't show up!! Some friends, huh? I thought that I might cut them some slack, because, let's face it, things happen.  One of them left to the beach.  The beach! I mean you can go to the beach every other day, it's not far from here (1.5h) but did he care? NO! How often do your best friend graduate? Let me tell you, not every day!  And then, my other so-called best friend left to another party.  You know what I think? F**k them! I am really pissed.  Worst thing is that neither of them has had the decency to call me.
 
But anyway.  The food was amazing.  The music was great.  My mom, cried; my dad, cried; my grandma, cried; my aunt, cried; my brother... took pictures.  But we were really happy.  Not all of the all-of-a-sudden 48 guests showed, but it was OK.  Apparently there was a slight miscalculation because the food was just enough for the 35 that did show.  So it all turned out for the best.
 
And now, I have to figure out what I have to do.  The best part of life, the one where you know what you have to do, is over.  Now the uncertainty starts.  If you want to know what else happens, keep checking this blog.

Congratulations on graduating!

And now, I have to figure out what I have to do.Eeek. That's the part I'm dreading. I've still got 2 more years in school, and I am not looking forward to being throw out into the "real world". It's scary out there. Especially when you're not sure about what you wanna do with your life.

Anyway. Good luck. It may be scary but hopefully it'll be a good adventure/experience. Hee. *grin*
