Graduation
So I'm Officially out of academia (well, for the next year at least).
Just had my Convocation/Commencement/Grad Ceremony on Friday 8July..the Centennial Class of 2005 (NUS, my uni turns 100 this year 1905-2005)! Me from that batch!
And after a very long time, I experienced a really-random afternoon.
Walked in late, had no idea how to wear the gown of course, Felt like a clown, nearly tripped 3 times, had the longest walk across the stage when my name was announced ('Tiruverkadu Prakash Yamini': can't walk too fast with that long a name!), Got a major headache trying to keep my mortar board from falling off..(i don;t think i've ever sat that still before! major balancing act)..did the whole throwing-the-hat-up-into-the-air thing (wouldn't have been complete without doing it, obviously!)
Ya-ME-ni with Mir (friends for life, baby!), Kiran (coolest brother ever) and Pops (da Man!)
And just like I had thought, graduation really isn't that big a deal..especially when people STILL say i look 16...dammit

Hey babe, congrats to you for graduation! Whew, you have a new life ahead finally.
Hmm....you do not look 16 to me, but look way older because of your wisdom within yourself.

Hahhhaa! During the ceremony, you were not just called "Tiruverkadu Prakash Yamini" BUT
"USP Scholar, Tiruverkadu Prakash Yamini"
so - of course you have to walk slowly, babe! :P
