Graduation in the Rain
Saturday, June 13th, 2009
It seems that the UofC wanted to torture us just one last time before actually allowing us to receive our diplomas and be done with the place. Our graduation (or rather, convocation), the 498th convocation at the university, took place this morning in the Harper quadrangle, outside in the pouring rain. They gave us “emergency ponchos” to wear, which bore an uncanny resemblance to those extra large plastic garbage bags you can buy at the grocery store. As one of the student speakers said, “this is how I always imagined my… funeral.” Way to end our college careers in style!
For all the soggy graduation caps, muddy high heels, and wet hair, we did get our diplomas–which I guess is what really matters. Bachelor of Science in Biological Chemistry. It has a nice ring to it doesn’t it? My mother took some pictures, which I’ll post if I ever get my hands on them. Too bad I didn’t manage to smuggle my camera in underneath my gown xD
Edit: Picture posted!

Congrats on getting your diploma! Rain’s cool, but not when you’re doing something like that outside, haha. I really can’t wait to go to college – just so I can learn more about my passions in psychology and language. :D

@Trish: Thanks for the comments! I definitely liked college a lot more than high school, and I’m looking forward to medical school a lot. Good luck with college– I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun.
