Graduated...and off to California!

More graduation photos

Graduation
What sucks about the University of Toronto, is that it's gigantic. So on your graduation day, you may not know a single soul who is graduating with you. Convocation runs for about two weeks, twice daily. So for a few days I attended my friends' convocation and mine.

Congrats to everyone who graduated. I was ecstatic to receive my degree. The disappointing thing is that it just says Honours Bachelors of Science. Nothing about Computer Science was written on my degree. So I could have taken...Astronomy or something.
My parents bought me the beautiful University of Toronto frame, and it's hanging on my living room wall in all its shining glory.
My reception was the only one my friends and I attended. It was pretty good. Since we are all cheapies, we stuffed ourselves since we knew that our tuition was paying for it haha. There is nothing free in life.

Vlad's convocation was the last one...and he wanted to walk around the Computer Science building a bit for memories sake. I couldn't help but have that feeling of nostalgia.

Unfortunately the weather in Toronto sucks and so it kept on raining. Many photos we took that week occurred during rainy or cloudy weather. Bleh. Major suckage.

Well...bye bye University of Toronto! Thanks for shortening my lifespan due to the stress you put me through.

Goong Goong
On Friday June 26th 2 years ago, "Goong Goong" (i.e. Grandfather in Chinese) passed away due to cancer. My Mother and I took a trip to pay our respects and fix up the flowers and clean up his area.
I know Goong Goong would be proud of me if he could see me today. I took his last wishes to me to heart - to do well in school. We miss you Goong Goong!

Vince's Birthday
It's his birthday today. Happy 21st birthday! You're not old shut up!
Yesterday he held a BBQ party at his place downtown. Had a good time. Said goodbye to Peter since he bought a one ticket flight to Europe and isn't returning to Canada...
And well, everyone wished me fun in Cali and are expecting to see me immediately upon my return...

Looking Forward to that California Sun
So this is my last post before I take off to the sunny state. I know you're all jealous :) As I promised I will post pictures on here and on facebook. Unfortunately my regular digi cam decided to spaz on me this month, so I can only bring my giant DSLR with me...and I only have one CF memory card...aie! The majority of the time I will not have access to the internet. Though I'll have to find some time to dump my pictures and send it to myself so I can clear out my card haha. I'll be gone for two weeks.

And thanks for all the tips and advice you guys gave me on what to see, do and expect while I'm there.

At the moment I'm staring at LA's confusing public transit system. Everything is so bloody far from each other.

Bye bye rainy Toronto weather...and hello to PALM TREES!

And so....have a HAPPY CANADA'S DAY! Have a fun and safe time partying!
