This girl is no longer a student!

I've finished school.

Like, really finished. Like graduated finish.

Alhamdulillah, results are out and I'm happy to say that I passed all subjects.

But my graduation ceremony, a.k.a The 184th Encaenia ceremony will be held on the 29th May 2013. Believe it or not, it will be my first graduation ceremony InshaAllah. I didn't graduate from kindergarten (explains why I could neither read nor write during the first 3 months in primary school), I didn't attend my highschool (did we have one?) nor my college graduation ceremonies. I was travelling :)

My ootd for the ceremony would be an old kebaya that I adore dearly. My family will not be present on the day to see me walk and potentially do a stupid pose on stage, unfortunately. I don't mind. I mean, it would mean a lot to me to have them there to celebrate my little success but Canada is extremely far from where I come from. Imagine far. Add another 14.5 thousand kilometres. Because that's the distance. Imagine 16 hours flight, plus another 8... plus another 3. plus transit hours that could go up to 7 hours. It's a really, really LONG way to come here. I don't think my parents should go through all of that just to see me walk for 15 seconds on stage holding a scroll.

Anyway, I have a month before Encaenia. I'll be travelling within Canada & the US InshaAllah. We're going to Nova Scotia again, then to Quebec City, then to Toronto and Hamilton in Ontario, then to Niagara Falls (and shop!) and to Buffalo in the US. Excited! MashaAllah I am very blessed. I have to control my spending or else I won't be able to pay for my Europe trip. Aiyaya!

O Allah, please ease any difficulties and grant me safety in this journey. Amin!
