Graduation

Yesterday, my sister graduation from University of California, Riverside.

After a lengthy drive all the way out to Riverside, we settled into the bleachers in the outdoor stadium at UCR. The ceremony began at 6, and we arrived at 5 to get reasonable seats. Imagine though, the Riverside heat, the blazing sun, and an outdoor stadium. Not a good combination.

We were lucky however. We arrived early enough to find some seats with partial shade, that became full shade as the sun went down. Those people on the other side, looking into the sun, were blanketed with heat for at least another hour or two.

After 1.5 hours of names I couldn't pronounce, we heard my sister's name, clapped, cheered, and then went to dinner.
