So the graduation ceremony was today at 10 AM. I woke up around 7, fell asleep until 7:30, napped somewhere between 7:50 to 8:20 and then started getting ready around 8:30.

Yeah, I'm not much for preparations.

The ceremony was really short; an hour long, including the 30-min social before the actual reading of names. My older brother and his girlfriend surprised me with a flower lei, a bouquet, and a giant grad balloon. *sighs happily* It was a nice affair. It's kinda odd to go through the ceremony even when I'll still show up once in awhile during the summer. I think.

Yesterday was my last day at CELT; we had an undergraduate party and I got an Amazon gift certificate. My little brother suggested using it to buy the last Harry Potter book.

Spent the majority of the day at one of my uncle's houses for a graduation party. One of my cousins got me a briefcase and a blazer, then threw in a pair of matching shoes. One of my aunts gave me a nice purse. And I got a lot of grad money. Lots of checks.

And my older brother gave me Odin Sphere, since I tried it last night and enjoyed it profusely (despite dying umpteen times against Belial). Aaron, one of my cousins, showed me an alchemy trick to try once I start gathering up a lot of Materials.

My room's a mess. I need to seriously clean once all of this graduation stuff winds down. I've still gotta go back to my party tomorrow. >_>

First off, I got the internship offer. Only took nine weeks. Yeow. I just need stuff in writing. I'm giddy at the idea that I'll be getting security cards, an ID badge, and all that swanky big corporation stuff. >_> Thank you to everyone that's wished me luck or congratulated me in some way. ^^

We're not moving out of the apartment. Well, as a family, we decided on that. I need to talk to management on Tuesday to see if we can extend our lease a few months while my internship is in effect. If I get a full-time position, I'll probably end up moving in September.

We went to dim sum and then bouldering (read: rock climbing without needing equipment) today. It took the entire day, but I guess I had fun. I'm pretty sure my upper torso (arms especially) is going to hurt like hell tomorrow. I couldn't even do things that required clenching my hands, like opening bottles or boxes. If I was more fit, I think I'd like climbing, though.

I'm gonna be going home between the end of class and graduation. I need to learn how to drive. Sigh.

Kingdom Hearts has eaten my brain. I've been slowly building the foundations of another fanfic (another epic, natch) with a big old AU stamp on it. I've written enough of it to come to the conclusion that I suck at writing Axel. Lovely.

Speaking of KH fanfics, there's also inspiration for Zexion vs. Albert Silverberg. Oh dear, oh dear.
