A very late post.

Someone graduated.

I'm sure some of you may remember Undarmaa, the eccentric mongolian girl my groupleader-come-best friend. Last semester was the semester she finally graduated. After 4 years of being in the university of Kansas, she finally graduated from the school of economics and political sciences. Yay for her.


Undarmaa infront of the people who discovered Helium. (They went to KU, apparently.)


Because me and Madhu (Sri Lankan friend.) were such great friends; and since Undarmaa had no real family there. (She apparenly told her parents to only come for her masters graduation -__-")

- End of post made a month ago.-

I really wish I had the rest of these pictures in these desktop. It's such a bother that the only thing on this desktop is Google Chrome, msn and Dota. I can't seem to continue anything I was doing post-coming-back-home simply because it's like, everything's temporary now; I don't know, it's like that feeling you get, when you're in the middle of the sea snorkeling, and you realize, that there's no solid ground, only corals on the seabed. Forlorness I guess.

Just to make it clear to you, I do have more pictures I wanted to use, but sadly I didn't upload them before I saved this post a month ago. Sad.

I remember that day fairly well though, Undarmaa's graduation. It was already the end of school, and I was staying at a friend's place; though, the night before the graduation I spent at Undarmaa's apartment, seeing as how it'd be easier to go to the graduation the next day.

KU has many traditions, and it was a pleasure to find out that there was a tradition for graduation too, a rather interesting (and long) one at that. There's like a field in the middle of KU, a humungous one, like an actual park you can walk in, and not far off, there's a football stadium (an EXTREMELY large one.), at the top of the hill, stands the campamille (or however it's spelt.) It's like a tall building filled with bells and such, I think I have it on one of my previous posts as I was discovering KU. Anyway, the the graduates are expected to walk through their campamille as a symbol of graduation. (Because, there's a belief that if you go through the campamille before you graduate, you won't graduate from KU.)

They through the campamille and down the extremely EXTREMELY long road towards the stadium for the ceremony. Parents and friends stand at the sides of the pathway and take pictures as they see their graduate walk down the path. Turns out, there were 2 pathways that the graduates were categorized under, college of liberal arts and the professional schools. Undarmaa, was in the school of liberal arts. Me, being such a fool, sat under the hot sun for 2 hours waiting to take her picture on the side of the OTHER pathway. I finally gave up, and only after the ceremony, did Undarmaa tell i was watching the wrong pathway. (Sigh.)

The whole thing finally ended after 5-6 long hours as we went for dinner at madhu's host parents' place; for dumplings!
