Okay, so first of, changed the url of my blog today to something a bit more useful for post-America life ( esp. as I will hopefully do another such travel thing at some point in the future!).Okay so today was graduation (mark II). An anticlimax I have to say. I was in pretty much a right grump most of the day. My feet hurt (new shoes), had to trapse back and forward across campus as all the places I had to go where about as far away from each other as they could be and my I have a huge round moon face in my grad picture (hopefully wont have to look at it much!). To be honest I think the main thing is - it is an anticlimax. I didn't have any big family stuff planned to celebrate like lots of my friends since I'm not really close to lots of my family and its a really long and boring day. I also think back to my BA graduation and that ended rather sourly. My ex and I ended up arguing over something that night which to be honest could have been fixed if A- he had just been honest with me in the first place and B- he had just said sorry (even if you don't mean it if the other person is drunk/tipsy it can save a whole load of grief). Anyway that was 7 years ago and I never really though about it much until today but I guess some things do stay with you can colour your perception of later events.
Anyway, this is my last post about stuff other than my travels so 6 days to go until the fun-ness of 11 hours (+1) on a plane and the joy of jetlag (but as they say west is best!). Going to endeavour to stay up and make the most of my day and a half of LA, hopefully see a bit of the famous nightlife and meet some of the fabulous people who I will be sharing the trip with.
Anyway, sorry this is a little dull/depressing, its definitely up from here!!!
Love Jill xxx
