And so...

When I was younger, I have always imagined graduation as this AWESOME thing. I imagine my parents, me and my sister all crying. I imagined that I would go up a stage and a super important dude from the university will hand me over the degree and the important dude will tell me to go out there and be someone important.

As a matter of fact, I was not exactly looking forward to my graduation... I did not exactly find it as how I imagined it to be when I was younger. Some of my friends were super excited when faced with the prospect of graduation. When they received their invitation to graduate, they would be jumping in excitement and they will start reading the instructions for Graduation Day religiously as if it is some sort of a Bible.

When I received my graduation invitation, I quickly put it aside and totally forgot about it. Two days before the ceremony itself, I realised that I have lost the paper. You would not believe what happen. I actually thought that you are supposed to pick up the regalia and bring it home and then bring it home and wear it on your way to graduation ceremony -_- I got to Union House at about 1 pm wearing my jeans and jumper. I bumped into a friend who was already dressed up for the graduation ceremony. Imagine her shocked when she saw me in my casual jumper.

It was 1.30 pm and the regalia centre will shut at exactly 3 pm. Thankfully, I live just around the corner from uni. So I rushed back home, called my parents on the way and told them to get ready and be at uni ASAP. In the end, I managed to go home, get changed, wear my make up and get back to uni by 2.30 pm. I took some pictures with my family and boyfriend. My dad brought along his video camera. I personally think that he is more excited about my graduation more than I do.

This year has truly been a flower year for me, I have never exactly gotten any flowers from anyone before in my life. I got one when I was staying at the hospital, got another one for Valentine's Day and got three for my graduation. Anyways, apart from having a big feast with my family and some friends after graduation as well as getting three flower bouquets, graduation was... I don't know... I didn't really feel anything. I have heard about people crying and all during graduation but I just couldn't feel anything. I do plan to study further in the future and I guess, it's quite normal these days for people to have more than two degrees in their lives. I have a feeling that I have a few more graduations to go in my life.

And so... what I should I do now? I really don't know... As some of you may have probably heard about this again and again, an Arts degree opens many possibilities. I mean most of my friends who did Commerce, Engineering or other professional degrees know exactly what they want to do. I am honestly clueless at this stage... I do have several career paths in mind that I want to follow but yet again... I am not sure whether I have what it takes to follow those career path. I guess I am still young and I still have a long way to go. I just hope that I will be able to do well in the future.
