So I've finished Uni.
Commissioned.
I guess that means I'm a lieutenant now.
Maybe it'll all be real when I actually start working.
In the mean time, I'm tired and need to go to bed.
I've been up since 06:30 today.
Went to my graduation ceremonies today.
I never understand why I need to do these things. I always feel awkward. I loafed for four years. Why do I need to be honoured?
My parents made me do it though. I guess it's important to them that the first Emerson to graduate from university needs to have at least five hours of Pomp and Circumstance.
Thank god for mobile phones. Texting and Bejewelled. Normally, I'm very much against blatantly disrespecting speakers, but I just was not in the mood today. I've not seen my family in four months, and I've not seen my Jakki in even longer. I'd rather have spent those five hours with them.
But it's over now. I'm a second LT in the US Army. I'm a university graduate.
It's midnight, and I'm completely shattered.
