I was back from school before 11:30 this morning. Wow. I guess it's true what they say about early comers, huh?
Finally, I got my tickets for the graduation ceremony that's one less thing to worry about now it's just a matter of finding the dress and the shoes but before I get to any of that let's have a flashback, shall we?
Monday.
In my hands are the most coveted PINK CARDS. The cards that are virtually useless because they have the gradesheets anyway and you have your class cards but for some reason you won't be able to graduate without them.
Photocopied class cards. Check.
Duly accomplished pink cards. Check.
Some signatures. Check.
Validated receipts. No go.
The lines were too long and there's no way I'm lining up for hours. How abut a treat then? The sister and I went to the mall and had frozen yogurt, some fastfood, bought a cd for the kid and had ice cream. I was disappointed by the Doc Martens store in Babyland. There were only a handful but the price tag was really jaw dropping. 999. Holy cow! We saw it while we were in the cab on our way to the mall. We freaked out a bit and told each other that we are definitely stopping by later...and I already told you what happened next.
We were walking in the rain having fun. Sister is really happy with her The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus album courtesy of yours truly.
Enough fun time for some pain. Time for some of my Guerrilla tactics. Guerrilla payment is something that some impatient yet smart and sensible(heh) students do when the lines are too long which is 99% of the time. They leave and come back later in the day when everybody else is done and the lines are no longer there. Sometimes it works sometimes it does not. Lady Luck must have been on my side because it worked! I was the person before the last person. Imagine that.
I was very pleased with myself after that. I even called me unbelievably awesome. I was also unbelievably tired. Well, not really but it ties the whole thing up, doesn't it?
Tuesday and Wednesday
These two days muddled into each other. Pretty much did the same thing I did on Monday. Walking. Waiting. Had my mutilated clearance sheet signed by some people who seem to be important but aren't. And then suddenly I have enough signatures and receipts to claim my COC. Yet another piece of paper that been hyped up and put in a pedestal that when you actually get it you're disappointed because it really is nothing but a piece of paper.
Thurday aka Today
Like I said got the tickets. Quick happy dance. Some woo's. And one more yay. There end of celebration.
