And finally, Graduation Day arrived. As is fitting of DSSC, we were first required to go through three full rehearsals to prepare ourselves for marching on-stage and receiving our parchments. The College would pass up no chance to make our lives just a little more miserable. Anyway, although we were all thrilled to be finally done with the College and on our way back to our homes, it was bittersweet to be leaving so many new-found close friends. I look forward to visiting them all in the near future.
