Convocation ceremonies used to occur every two years in my school but lately, they have decided for it to be yearly. I had my last exam in October and did my final defense in November. The fact that my convocation ceremony was fixed to the ending of this month feels too near actually. The first time it was announced in December, I didn’t even know how to react, it all just felt too fast.
Well, the ceremony is in less than three weeks and I am not in any way prepared. I am not even sure if I want to attend or not. Everything feels too fast and I have a lot to put in place. This ceremony is definitely not compulsory but for the sake of making memories and keeping them, almost everyone chooses to attend it. The fact that it’s once in a life time at this level as well is another thing that motivates the attendance.
I know I will definitely incur some expenses during the course of preparing for this event, it’s inevitable. I look at my list of plans and I realized that I am not financially fit for it at this time. Of course, there are some things my parents would be in charge of. Like the food and drinks most especially. Well, I think I will just wait and see how the whole thing turns out.
I might have to do a photo shoot as well before the day and getting that prepared will actually take a lot of planning and I would definitely be spending some cash more than little. The photo shoot thing is almost like a culture for all graduands. To get a clearer picture of them in their graduation gown and cap, and to probably frame the pictures someday. For me, I think I will definitely frame one of the pictures from the my later in the future.
I haven’t also done my clearance, but I think I will be traveling to school later this week to get that done. I think it’s a prerequisite to be a part of the convocation ceremony because out of the total fee for clearance, some fees are concerned with convocation. Apart from the clearance, I need to submit my final project work to my supervisor in order to do my hard cover and also to be cleared. I actually have a lot to work on and this month might be a bit dramatic 😂
I just realized now that do not know the hair to make or the cloth to wear. I don’t think it’s too early to think of these because these days, time just flies anyhow. Before you know it, it’s January 26th, but I guess I will figure it all out later as well. I just needed to rant and spell out of my worries to get a better look at them. If i’m able to plan something, I will be writing a post on how my convocation ceremony went in the next three week, I will even add pictures😌
Thanks for reading❤️
