Graduation Weekend

Four years and finally, graduation came. It was rather amazing. I'm too tired to go into detail like I normally would so for those of my readers that were expecting my usual way of telling a story, pele (that's sorry for my Non-Nigerian readers).

Anyways, I'll start from Friday. During our graduation rehearsals, our graduation tent was destroyed by a sandstorm and we all had to run out before it fell on us. Talk about your Friday the 13th spectacle. I try not to believe in that stuff but you must admit weird things or uncool things always manage to happen on Friday the 13th!

Friday was Grad party at this club in town. Bee came into town the day before so I had a girlie to go party with. The club was packed and everyone there was happy and relaxed and looked real nice too. The only spectacular thing to talk about concerning this party is the booze. It just kept coming! Vodka is not my friend but that night, I had to let loose so we got close and boy, did it loosen me up! I had way more fun than I expected to and I danced a lot. Colin got me two bottles of champagne and of course, poured it all over me before finally giving me a chance to drink em.
Bee and I had to x the party when we realized we couldn't stand straight anymore. LOL

P.S Don't judge me. Last time I really danced and enjoyed myself at a social function of that nature was sometime last year. Infact before Grad party night, I wasn't sure if I still 20 or now 45!

So Saturday was mostly terrible. When you drink vodka like it's water and continue with champagne, you are bound to get a hangover. If you are me anyway. And that is what Saturday was about for moi. I felt sick all day and had to sleep a whole lot before feeling a little human again. 

My parents got in in the evening with my Auntie Sandie for the Awards Dinner for graduating seniors. I had planned to dress up but I ended up playing it down cause I lost the mood. All I wanted to do was eat the food and go back to my room to sleep. But my amazing family slowly got me in the mood to celebrate. Aunt Sandie didn't stop taking pictures and she got quite some amazing ones!

P.S Notice the picture of me on the table? That was pretty cool of AUN to frame pictures of each graduating senior. 

Sunday, yesterday, was the main graduation day. It was long oh! But real nice. And I felt so much love and pride from my family and friends, both those with me and those who called or Facebooked me...it was amazing actually :) The ceremony was tasteful and even with our tent being ruined, AUN was able to still handle affairs and give us a really nice ceremony. 

OMG I took pictures eh! Aunt Sandie's camera, my camera, other people's cameras, phones...I feel like I must have taken close to 500 pictures yesterday alone! I don't mind if I don't take another picture this year. LOL. 

After all the pictures, we all went to get some rest and went out to the university club house for dinner. Yes, more pictures.
