Hey all, so it's been a busy month, I graduated (finally), and I have been working full time in my summer job, which is a mix between sales and being a painting contractor. Last, I've taken my road test and am in the process of finding a car.
To be honest I hate ceremonies, so graduating was pretty meaningless to me; and me with my occasional tactlessness, offended someone by telling them if commencement wasn't required, I'd skip it. I don't really understand why people put so much stock in events like this—come on, it's not a wedding—the fact is graduating from college is not that big an accomplishment, thousands of other people do every year; I side with Mr. Incredible on this: "they keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity". If I went to Harvard then I might care (I mean, drinking all weekend and still finding time to study? That is much more impressive than what I did, living on a dry-campus where I could study all the time).
I know it is a bit pathetic that I am getting my license at 22, but seriously, there are almost no personal cars in Asia! I don't even think the Chinese have invented a work for "parking lot" yet since there are none.
That's all, and I'm offering no offense, which means you can't take any : )
