My graduation ceremony was organized by MDIS and Oklahoma City University, and the graduating classes are from Mass Communications. From Professional Certificate, to Postgraduate Diploma, to Advance Diploma to Bachelor Degree to Masters. So there's like more than a hundred of graduands with countless of guests.
Although I had my graduation before in secondary school, but I would say, the one I experienced at Ritz Carlton Hotel was a total different thing. Maybe it's the ambience and qualification. And maybe, because I was wearing formal to attend the function.
Even without my group of friends, who weren't there to attend and receive their certificates, I still had a memorable day. Well, at least I had someone I love attending it with me. Which is something I've always wanted.
At 12:30pm, we're all seated in the ballroom, waiting for the whole ceremony to begin. At around 1+ in the afternoon, they've played a flash clip, titled, The Teacher's Movie. Which of course touched everyone hearts.
As the ceremony begin, with the Bachelor and Masters graduands came marching in, with the VIP and lecturers of both MDIS and Oklahoma following behind, I could literally feel that my heart is beating real fast. I was nervous, and I totally can't believe that I've actually graduated with a Diploma in Mass Communications.
Although the speeches weren't what we're actually waiting, but we're enjoying ourselves, shouting and making noises when the emcee of the day introduced the lecturers.
Finally, it's our turn to collect our scrolls from the president of MDIS and Oklahoma City University. I was dead nervous as my name was called and where I made my way slowly up. For a moment, I could feel that everything around me and become blurred, and that all I could see was flashes from the photographer just a few feet away.
As everyone had collected their scroll, there's a group photo taking sessions of each batch. Although during the process of getting us in place was a total mess, we literally enjoyed ourselves by trying to stand wherever we wanted to. And the phototaking was quite long, we just had the entertainment going around saying:
Just smile as long as possible, because we won't know when the photographer had done taking.
High Tea after photo taking. There's lots of variety, from sandwiches to desserts of various sorts. And there's a mascot of a graduating bear walking around taking photos with everyone. Students around talking to their family and friends, as well as taking photographs with their favourite lecturer.
It's a wonderful day. I went home with a graduation bear plushie and a diploma certificate.
And there's a very important thing . . .
