I GRADUATED!!! congrats to my fellow graduates of the class of 2010! :)
Went to my Marketing Department Graduation on Friday with my parents and my besties: Anna and Kathy. The Marriott in Burlingame was really nice and then speeches were good. They didn't put me to sleep for once, and were pretty funny. But, not only did i graduate, i got married to my Marketing degree too, all thanks to Professor Bruce Robertson. LOL! After all the speeches it was time for all of us to have our minute of fame and walk across that glorious stage. :D It felt so surreal getting called and then going across. Kathy and Anna yelled out "ALRIGHTTT Sharon!" and i heard my mom say "That's my baby!!!" hahhaa oh how i love them! Then i see my dad being paparazzi and taking pictures of me walkin back with my COB Marketing Degree.
Then it was wrap up speeches time, and the Marketing Association President gave a good speech about all our hard work and experiences and the future. I love how she quoted Dr. Suess, and it was quite fitting i must say. And then it was dunzos, time to go, and they played "Good Life" by Kanye. I think the only thing i wish happened was my favorite Professor spoke, Ian Sinapuelas. but i took a picture with him afterwards, so it's all good. And it's pretty funny how the gift was a shot glass. guess it's like "okay, you graduated, now go take a shot!"
After the ceremony, we took pictures and then my mom says, "Okay, you want to go downstairs and get a drink?" hahhahha i guess thats where i get it from! so my dad got us 3 midori sours and then we went to dinner at Elephant Bar. yum yumss. (and while there i made a fool of myself ish in front of the waiter by doing like fist pumpin when i was talkin about the CAD graduation. but it's cool he was nice, we just joked about it and then when we were leaving we joked about how i walked across the stage. hahah cool dude!)
Then on Saturday was big 109th SFSU Graduation at Cox Stadium. The ceremony was LONGGGG and tedious but it was cool. And at least it was sunny out, cause we were all worried it was gonna rain. and i got to sit with my APO Business boys: Shervey, Andrew, and Kingsley. too bad Kristina, Karen, Maxine couldn't sit with us tho. haha but me and B Boo were texting the whole time to stay awake. :P
After everything was said and done, we finally got to walk up and get our diploma cover. i have to say my department graduation was definitely more personal and felt more like a graduation. But it's okay. then we all met at Burk Hall / Fine Arts to take pictures together.
And then we celebrated graduation on a boat down near AT&T Park at night for David and Weiland's Grad Party. It was definitely a fun night to remember and a great way to celebrate all the hard work of our college careers. Work hard, and play harder baby!
All in all, I must say great graduation weekend. And thank you to everyone that has been a part of my life and has been there for me throughout this journey. All the new friends and old friends, you all have touched my heart in some way. I definitely feel the love, and am blessed to have such wonderful people in my life!
