Gah. I hate reformatting my computer.
This time round, though, I had not much of a choice. It literally SIZZLED and hung yesterday.
I tried reformatting it to avoid having to loose any form of money and I'm thinking it might've worked. Not sure, it still needs a test run.
I had to re-install everything from AutoCAD to Corel Sketch Pad to the Japanese language bar.
It is such a pain in the behind, it is unimaginable.

Today was my graduation ceremony.
Yaaaaay.
Us third class graduates sat at the back of the IAD lot and miraculously (!) I was placed between Raymond and Nut! (not so miraculous as it was in alphabetical order)
Yaaaaay.
Upon entering the area outside the ballroom, Nut and I took a picture.
I asked "Do you have a picture of us on the first day of Standard 1?"
She said "I might have"
I have always found it amazing that Nut and I ended up going to the same college, studying the same thing and in the same class and ending our academic lives on the same day was kinda nice.
And it's nice that I still call her Nut/Nat after 15 years. Nice for me, not so much for her.
Raymond said he felt nervous before going up on stage to receive his certificate.. I was just worried about falling down or that stupid hood thing falling off my shoulders (I could not keep it straight).
If you asked me, I wanted to wear the Master of Philosophy robes. It was so badass with the white stripes and all. The Bachelor in Arts' robes was this green and yellow things on a blue hood. :S
Taking pictures was another problem.
I'm not a smiler and smiling beyond 10 seconds for me is quite a pain in the bum unless I'm drunk/having fun.
The photographer was such a weird fellow that he kept making me laugh and then he'll say "Okay, too much. Smile less". So I smile less and he says "Okay, please smile more" and so I'll smile more and he'll repeat the before.
Finally I did my spastic smile and he accepted it.
I'm gonna end up looking really spastic. This is not a picture we want to send to the relatives.
The robes was fun to wear, though. All flowy and Harry Potter-ish.

Made me wanna whip out my wand.

[Pictures coming soon~]

GP TONIGHT.
Rosberg qualified 12th but I heard something about a 5 grid penalty because of a gearbox change?
Anyway, can't wait. Spa is a fast circuit. Exciting~
