I Graduated

Earlier this morning, I have graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

If you've never been to a UHM graduation, you gotta go to at least one. There is the Hawaiian oli chant in the beginning, the usual national and state anthems, and speeches. And it ends with the UH Alma Mater and the graduates walk to the athletic fields to recieve leis from family.

Baseball legend Tommy Lasorda was the speaker at our graduation. It was a relief to hear non-political rants at a UH graduation ceremony. Lasorda was funny and inspirational, though he spoke louder than neccessary.

I took a lot of pictures, though I didn't get a chance to take pictures of everyone I knew there.

Now I'll have to enter the real world. I'm going to miss school now, though I wont miss the exams. I'm going to miss all the good people I've met and all the fun memories I had.
