Graduation, Done.

Thank god that's over! It was really nice to see Myriam getting her (fake) diploma, but the whole process was so drawn out! There's no need for a 45 minute speech about various wars when the day is for celebration...

The "lupus girl" really took the piss too, fair enough you have a nasty illness, but we don't need all of the theatrics and gushing about how it was so hard to graduate and how you couldn't do it without your mum who didn't turn off the life support and how your son gave you "the strength" to carry on to do an online degree...... At home...... In your pyjamas...... And even that took 20 minutes to tell us about...

It's really strange how everything is so hyped up here and how the photographs with the diplomas were done behind a barrier so the audience didn't see the photos being taken! It was very orchestrated and at times felt very rehearsed...

Don't get me wrong, it was a nice day, but my it was long! After the ceremony we headed to Olive Garden where we had Italian and it was really nice. I said on Twitter earlier about the food, a huge salad, breadsticks and a nice chicken parmigiana. After Olive Garden, we came home and had cake! The cake was huge, monstrous actually!

I have a real craving for a grilled chicken salad now, which I'll probably order tonight. I took photos of virtually everything, the graduation, food, the cake and various other things too! It's now after dinner, about 6:15, and out of the 6 and a bit days I've been here, 4 of them have been spent with Lindsay.

I'd like to have some time alone with Myriam, because it's her I'm here for, not to have Lindsay attached to her too!
