[6:45 PM EDT - ..and back again.]

Whee! I'm back! Guess what? The air-conditioning's working again! *shivers in very cold room* Yahoo!

I was actually at school earlier for convocation, but didn't have time to stop by the office to do stuff. I had to go back to the house to change and clean things up a bit (I had strewn my stuff around the room when I got back but that's another story). No sooner did I step out of the house did I hear a long and distant rumble from the north. Turning that way, I saw up in the sky a dark an ominous cloud that covered the entire northern expanse of sky and it was slowly blotting out the sun that shone on us during the entire afternoon. All I could say was

"Aw, $#!^."

So now I'm here, with the threat of a huge thunderstorm looming, wondering if I'll be able to make it back home before the maelstrom arrives.

*looks out window*

Unlikely.

[7:06 PM EDT - Convocation.]

I guess this is a good time as any to talk about how my convocation went. Well, it went as well as it did the last time I convocated (three years ago). Met people I haven't seen for a while, got really (really) hot wearing my suit and robe out in the sun, waited for god-knows-how-long for the four-hundred (or thereabouts) graduates to walk past the chancellor. (Arts had over nine-hundred! Oi.) It was mostly for the parents, and partly for the pictures. I think AgentP and Jax got the most out of it (especially Jax) for seeing me in a suit (a very rare occurance).

I got to talk to quite a number of people (even TUji, remember him Laz?), and took just about all of their pictures. All except for AgentP, who happened to disappear just after all the formalities were done and over with. (Jax and I weren't able to track him down.)

I took a couple of pictures, but most of them were taken my other people (most who didn't seem to understand the concept of "manual focus"). I hope they came our alright.

The weather was good, the time flew, and I met more than enough people to make the event worthwhile. All in all, a good choice (to come back for convocation that is).

Oh dear, it's raining now. *watches the rain hammer against the window*

[7:21 PM EDT - Poster robots.]

KNZ sent out a link to a poster he put together to showcase our club at Anime North. I think it's pretty good!

Anyone heard of Robot Wars? I haven't seen it myself, but after hearing what HaremPresident and MoB had to say, I'm pretty interested in seeing the show!
