i went to graduation yesterday; the high point was leaving after walking across the stage AND getting my parents to notice I had done so and come out to meet me to beat the photos rush. It is my third (could be worse, could have been to 4...) and they are, without exception, really dull. Still, the parents like it a lot and i think particularly appreciate that I do it cos they like it, and they always take me out for a slap-up tea afterwards so it's not really so tough, i just have to sit in a room for an hour and a half applauding at regular intervals.
I took my phone with me yesterday so texted throughout most of it. It wasn't so bad.
Welsh update:
Last night I couldn't sleep and wondered why the welsh-named pub near my work is not named what I in my sleepy state thought was the correct translation. I worked it out. I worked something out about Welsh. It was very exciting.
I now know the verb 'to be', but due to the magic of linkword, I have learned it by saying things like 'she is eating the black dress and I am drinking the table'. I do get a real buzz out of it when I get it right; it's like little tests all the time to see if you can put the sentences together and, reading public, I kind of can. Mostly.
