And then I hugged Bob Rae...

So yesterday I graduated... That's good, I guess...
Ran around trying to figure out where I could get a replacement graduation card. This card, which I needed for graduation, had arrived at my parents house like 2 days before the grad. Stupid bureaucracy...

Anywho, eventually James and I figured out where to get new cards after asking over 20 people who directed us to someone else. We waited in a line for like an hour, and then Ba-Bam! we were marching into the hockey stadium...

I sat with a great deal of impatience as some 596 people walked across stage before me. When it was my chance I walked up and shook the vice-chancellors hand. Then, leaving our Chancellor Bob Rae waiting, I stopped to shake hands with/talk to the Dean of Students.

Chris: "Hey Dave..."
David McMurray: " Hi Chris, congratulations on graduation."
Chris: "Yes... I think it's going really well..."

Then as he let out a little laugh, I went on to Bob Rae and gave him a hug... I don't really care for his politics or anything, I just figured how I often do I get a chance to hug someone of importance. I mean I hugged the Bishop in Nicaragua, and I don't care for him at all... Hehe...

My family was there... Brother, parents, and grandparents... All the pressure is on me now...

Suffice to say... It was a day... I'm a graduate...
From now on I am Christopher "The Glum Chum" Cunningham B.A. BABY!!!
