| | Today I graduated with honors, magna cum laude, at California State University, Los Angeles with my Bachelor's of Science in Accounting. For my particular school, graduating magna cum laude meant that I was top 3% of my graduating class.
I would have not graduated on stage if it was not for my friend Jewel demanding that I do it. If it was not for her, I would not have had a proper graduation or celebration. I am thankful that she pushed me to walk the stage because it really finalized my academic tenure, so to speak, at CSULA. My parents, Craig (older brother), and Jewel attended my graduation. We just had a graduation lunch at BJ's, which Thao (Craig's girlfriend) and my other friend Ariel attended as well.
I kind of wish Daryl was able to attend my graduation. I never formally asked him to come and he actually had to attend his nephew's birthday today, but it would have been nice for him to see me graduate. Aside from my own family, Daryl and his own family knew second best on how much studying and effort I put into school. Daryl was there throughout my college experience witnessing (and coping) with all my academic stresses and accomplishes. I don't think anyone but him could understand how much I really put into doing well in school.
I look a bit tired as I am functioning off any sleep I got from Thursday night!
I did not sleep last night at all! I spent Friday afternoon and evening into Saturday morning at my friend's place. We swam in the pool and enjoyed the jacuzzi, played some Rock Band 2, made a Ralphs run for some food, attended a surprise birthday party for one of friends, and watched a movie.We did a lot!
Anyway, the whole concept that I am done with school has not really sunk in fully. I still feel like I have to do a group presentation, term paper, or something of that sort.
For now, I think a nap is in order! |
