Today I went to Cheryl’s uni graduation in W’Gong where she received a Master of Science in Biotechnology—you go girl, I'm proud of you! I would have screamed and hollered at the announcement of her name, but to my surprise, the Australian graduations are very prim and proper. More like the British system I guess. If I ever make it across the stage, I don’t care about being proper, I want all the whoops and whistles!
After her graduation, we had lunch at a Chinese place. It was good, but I quickly learned that Cheryl’s family is a lot like a Jewish family. ;) If I ate too quickly, more food kept getting put on my plate and if I didn’t eat, I wasn’t eating enough. Apparently, I look too skinny and should eat more.
After an interesting train ride back to the city, Cheryl and I finally departed at central train station. I must admit I was getting choked up and teary-eyed saying good-bye to my best friend. I'm going to miss her. The walk to the bus stop seemed longer than normal.
While on the bus, I had an awful experience because this lady in her 60’s kept gawking at me, pointing, talking to other people about me, and then she had the gawl to whip out her mobile and take pics of me and showed it to people on the bus! I was absolutely appalled and wanted to say something nasty but I held my tongue. Instead, I told her that she was being very rude and asked her to stop it, but she didn’t seem to care. Geez! I was so glad to get off that bus!
