Seasons of Change

Continuing from yesterdays post about my graduation, I noticed I didn't say that much about it. My bad, but there isn't much to say except that it was at the University's auditorium. The five first rows was filled with graduating students taking magister degrees, bachelor's degree, socionoms and others I can't remember (or actually care about frankly). The rest was friends and family. The student union leader hold most of the ceremony and there were two members of the faculty there, each of them giving a speech. A couple of beautiful songs in between the different groups getting their apples. Yes, glass apples, everyone got one. Everything went on as usual, except when one of the socionom groups went forward and one kid started crying and screaming with all power he could muster in his lungs. Probably 10 years old or so. Kinda disruptive. And I usually have this belief that children shouldn't be allowed into the public room. So you can probably guess how I felt. Of course, I think my neighbor couldn't decide what was worst, the kid or me, twisting and turning in agony of the constant screaming. The interesting thing is that the following song contained the lyrics "and I can't stand screaming children". It's hard to not laugh at that coincidence.

So after everyone got their apple it was out, get a slice of cake and a cup of coffee, talk with some of the others, then it was of. A bit sad that there was no other of my other friends, but that couldn't be helped. At least I recognized  4-5 others so I wasn't completely alone, but it was still not the same. Funny enough I'm still lingering at the university, trying to get a job. Lords know where thou. A very depressing thought to be the last, but then I've always been the one to quickly settle down. Of course there isn't very deep roots since they've already left so what is keeping me? Still, I have at least a couple of months before the sword materializes above me and I will be forced upon direction whether I like it or not. At least spring has finally come to relieve us from the cold.
