The Graduation Fever is ON

Today, March 29,2010 was scheduled as the first among the series of practices for our graduation this coming April 15,2010. At last after 4 years of going to school listening to endless lectures of our instructors, sleepless nights of creating projects developing "running" programs, reading and analyzing source codes and mathematical formulas,taking exams that made us nosebleeds and cause to much ache on our heads and our hearts, sad to say all of these happy memories has come to an end. There were a lot of memories to be reminisce both happy and sad, bitter and sweet and all flavors that best describes our journey as a Computer Science student of the University of Southeastern Philippines and these memories will be in my heart and will be tresured forever.

Now going back to the practice, the call time was 3:00 P.M for the colleges that belong to the 1st batch of the graduation ceremonies that includes College of Engineering (CE), Institute of Computing (IC), College of Technology (CT), College of Governance, Business and Economics (CGBE) and the Masteral and Ph.D graduates of the university for the year 2010. Unfortunately, there were delays on starting the programs as the organizers came late by more than 30 minutes and also the heavens blessed all the graduating students as the rain began falling. So the practice resumed at around 4:00 P.M. There were only few graduating students attended the practice for unknown reasons. Majority of graduating students from our department were present and that goes to shows that we are all excited to graduate.So we assembled at the center field of our university as the chosen venue for the practice. At first, I felt bad after seeing few students from other department assembling and take note there were only 2 department who were there at the call time. What a shameful act of s graduating students.

But all my frustration and tiredness of standing and waiting for the practice to start were all vanished when the graduation march theme was played. It was such a good feeling, a feeling of joy and excitement on what will happen (tumayo ung balahibo ko in tagalog) after hearning the graduation march theme. Sadly, the graduation practice was postponed as it rains very hard causing us to get up on-stage and listen to some orientation regarding the program proper.

After the Holy Week, it'll be all time to prepare for the graduation program but for me the graduation fever has finally began... Now I can feel the excitement that I will march on stage and will receive my college diploma; the reward of 5 years of efforts and sacrifices not only me but also with my family and friends.
