June 2009 Convocation!

Graduated today from the University of Toronto. Woohoo! It was a good day, although, my feet have seen much better days. I don't know what happened, but my feet must have grown over the last year, since they barely fit inside my shoes, and were painfully squashed during the entire ceremony! Oh how painful, it was so bad, I just can't describe how much they were hurting. They are bandaged up right now lol. But whenever I could, I took off my shoes and walked out on the grass after the ceremony was finished (walking on grass barefoot was SO refreshing!). Also, I headed over to the mall right after and bought shoes so that I could switch out of my heels (my poor feet). Sad thing is, these heels were very comfortable when I bought them last year -- I was literally running around and jumping up and down in them (that's how comfortable they USED to be). Never knew my feet were still growing. I'm so sad (and literally in pain) :( sniffos.

Anywho, wish I knew more people during my convocation ceremony, but I only saw 2 people that I actually knew, and they were sitting far from me since we were in alphabetical order lol. Did manage to see Lisa though as she was making her way to her ceremony (as well as right before her ceremony started lol). But wish I graduated with more people that I knew. Grr you jason for not showing up! LoL at least I would have had someone to talk to (so lonely!). At least my family was there, along with my boyfriend ^_____^

But yeah, anyways, some photos! Will be posted shortly lol.

  1. I love your photos, especially the first one! But your diploma is too small for me to be able to see what is written on it... What were you studying exactly? Something related to arts or something completely different?

    Sorry about your poor feet... I hope they'll eventually recover!

  4. Thanks janet! Yah, I called her as soon as mine ended, and then I heard the people calling in all the management people to go wait in the marshaling room, so I like walked really fast (since I couldn't run), over to where she was, and called her again Lol, and we were able to take a quick photo thanks to patrick :) Then we saw her again when I was going back in to return the gown, and she was on her way out onto the field towards convocation hall~ ^^
