"The Dragon is Sla-i-ain!"

So, ya...

The other day (Thursday) was our graduation ceremony, you know, the one where everyone walks across the stage and gets their diploma..? The ceremony started at 10 and went until 12:20 or so. It was in our gym... ie. it was super mega way too hot... xP especially if you are wearing a suit under a cap and gown surrounded by another thousand or so hot sweaty people clapping and waiting for their children to get to the stage at which time they run to the front with cameras and take like 20 blurry pictures of their child accepting a piece of paper that says "good for one diploma with return of gown", while texting one of your friends who to your surprise wasn't there.

Then we went to the cafetorium for the reception, ie the place where all the people dying of heat stroke and exhaustion go to drink PC Sparkling Lemonade that has been pumped through a drink fountain until it no longer sparkles and eat maple leaf shaped cookies or mini cupcakes with edible diploma and cap shaped frosting while everyone takes a million pictures (especially YC) and everyone says "Are you going to prom tommorow?|" excitedly until I say "no, I'm going to Montreal" at which time they then say "Well... have a good life" or "Well... See ya." dryly... >.>

So, ya... My parents couldn't stand the heat or the person beside them, so they left pretty much immediately after I crossed the stage. Well, whatever. The funny thing was that my brother's girlfriend was there, but not my brother...

So, Ya... After that I decided to cut up the dragonfruit I had bought and the star fruit I had bought on Wednesday. The dragonfruit was kinda bland... The starfruit, although not bland, was kinda too sour... xP anyway... here are some pictures!!!








Ya, weird eh..?

Anyways, later that same day was the final playoff softball game before the championship on Saturday. Each of the other teams had a win in the playoffs, so we needed this to even have a chance, we also needed to win by quite a bit because it would come down to the number of runs determining who moves on if we win. It had rained earlier and so the game was moved to another field. Everyone was there and we played a great game. We ended up winning by about 5 runs. We didn't win by enough, but it doesn't matter that much. Winning is fun and all, but being on a team that can grow and improve together while all being friends and fighting through the challenges is way cooler. In the end our team only had two wins... our first and last games of the season, but it was cool to win our last game.

So, ya...

P.S. "Hey AL, registering for university courses is pretty hard... probably as hard if not harder than getting a girlfriend, but I don't have a girlfriend, so I don't know how hard that can be..."
