My life has been a major turmoil these days.
Right after Commencement on Sunday I realized that I should be moved out of the dorm like that day itself wtf. So in a matter of hours, the Oois and I managed to pack MY WHOLE ROOM UP and moved to the hotel.
(but not without throwing away a lot of beloved items. Like my Hello Kitty comforter T________T)
(But we are lugging back my Hello Kitty humidifier to use in a country that’s humid enough wtf)
I am going home this Thursday!
I am still putting off blogging properly about graduation weekend because I haven’t received pictures from Angela and Mild yet (both who are back in Vancouver and Bangkok respectively)
But Imma post up some pictures from the Laurel Parade which is held the day before Commencement.
The Laurel Parade is an age old tradition with Mount Holyoke where returning alumnae and graduating seniors all wear white and walk carrying laurel branches as a symbol of the women’s suffrage movement.
Ya it’s obvious that Moho is clearly a very feminist institution.
And I am a big feminist too! If any male tries to patronize me so help me god I will stab his eye out with my mascara wand wtf.
Anyway the Laurel Parade was fun because we got to see everyone dress up in white dresses and look so pretty. I heard this woman comment “you never think that there would be 5oo different variations of white dresses in one place” but it’s so true ok!
Us with the laurel! That’s Trisha/Treisha/Trenoige behind dunno how to spell her name wtf.
I was already in tears by then. Just by taking part in one of the last Moho traditions I’ll ever join in again as a student, and by being cheered on by alumnae from the classes of 2006, 2003, 1988, 1958 and 1933 who were clapping for us by the sides of the parade T___________T
Serenaded by bagpipes! How much more traditional can you get?
Cannot resize cos must show you the signs damn cute! The alumnae fro different classes made signs to show us what it was like during their time at school. This is the class of 1988. 20 years ago can you imagine.
And these are signs from the class of 1958. M & C’s are another Moho tradition – it stands for Milk and Cookies and every weeknight from 9.30 pm students can go downstairs in their dorms where “milk and cookies” will be waiting for them. Of course there are other things like muffins and juice or whatever but these days people are trying to be healthy so a lot of the time we get baby carrots instead of cookies wtf.
Then we walk to the grave of Mary Lyon (the founder of Mount Holyoke) and sing “Bread and Roses” which is a song about the feminist movement wtf.
We had to learn the song in like 5 minutes the day before during rehearsal! As a result none of us knew the melody very well so everyone kind of warbled through it at different tones wtf and everybody sang the “bread and roses” part damn enthusiastically since it was the only part we were sure of wtf.
The four of us with all our families! We realized that all of us have brothers but no sisters. I have Ooib, Jeannie has an older brother, Mild has two younger ones, and Angela has her cousin wtf but they grew up together so he’s more like her brother too.
See how red my hair is! *shudder
In front of Hooker Auditorium, the bane of my existence wtf. Cos people call it Hooker Aud. for short. Therefore I am a hooker wtf.
I miss them both so much already T______T
And my Beth!
At the final resting place of Mary Lyon.
In front of the library.
Ok that’s all for now I cannot take this stupid hotel wireless connection anymore slow like cibai wtf.
Will blog more thoroughly when I get a stable connection and all the pictures and videos imma keep blogging about this until nobody visits my blog ever again for fear of boredom and repetition wtf.
