Atėjo laikas tam banaliajam pernelyg jausmingam įrašui - prabėgo ketveri metai, oficialiai esu diplomuota magistrantė inžinierė ir šis studentiškas mano gyvenimo laiptelis įveiktas. Turbūt reikėtų ašaromis preskiestu rašalu prirašyti, koks nuostabiausias šis periodas buvo, kaip jis mane subrandino, kaip niekad nebebus taip gerai kaip studijų metais ir kaip nenoriu, kad jis baigtųsi, tačiau jaučiuosi visai ne taip. Gyvenimo periodas išties buvo geriausias lig šiol - tiek nuotykių, tiek draugų, tiek žinių, tiek prisiminimų, tad, natūralu, ir pati esu visai kitokia nei išvykdama šion salon, bet taip pat nekantrauju žengti kito žingsnelio ir sutikti dar daugiau žmonių bei sukaupti dar daugiau žinių bei smagių įspūdžių. Pirmyn į pasaulį, taip sakant! Norėjau daryti mini nuotraukų galeriją, a la prisiminimų alėją, bet supratau, kad keturi metai yra truputuką per daug apibendrinti vienu įrašu. Tad be didelių sentimentų - truputukas šventės aprašymo kitoje pastraipoje, o sveikinimus priimu tiek žodžiu, tiek raštu, hehe!
The time has come for the banal overly sentimental post - four years have passed, now I'm a graduate with a masters in an engineering degree and this student-y stage of my life is officially closed. I feel like I should be writing on a tear-drenched sheet about how this was the most amazing part of my life, how much more mature I've become, how it won't ever be as good as it was just now and how much I hate the idea of it ending; but I simply don't feel that way. This period of my life truly has been the best one yet - so many adventures, so many friends and knowledge, so many memories, thus naturally I am much different to myself at the point of departing to this island, but also I am eager and positive about the next step awaiting me - new people and even more knowledge and fun memories. Onwards to the world, let's say! I wanted to do a mini photo gallery "Down the memory lane" but simply too much has happened, thus it's not feasible to put that all in one post. So without an overflow of sentiments - a short recap of the celebration below, and I accept your greetings and best wishes both in written and in person hahaha!
Diplomų teikimo ceremonijoje man trūko daugelio brangiausiųjų žmogiukų - juk taip norėtųsi, kad visi mano nuostabuoliai būtų šalia! Bet akomponuojama mylimiausiosios mamytės (ar sesės, kaip čia visiems atrodė) ir dviejų iš savo geriausiųjų draugų keliavau universitetan atsiimti to ypatingojo popieriuko. Pasiklydę prie mantijos ir bilietų atsiėmimo visgi susisukom su pakankamai laiko prisifotografuoti. Pati ceremonija buvo be galo puošni - gražiausioje universiteto salėje, su vargonų muzika ir choru, nuostabiai spalvingom dėstytojų mantijom, visais svečiais pasipuošusiais ištaigingiausiais rūbais ir plačiausiomis besididžiuojančiomis šypsenomis. Buvau pakviesta viena pirmųjų: mano pavardę ištarė smagiai, bet beveik teisingai, nesuklupus ir užlipus ant scenos tereikėjo paspausti ranką svarbiam dėdei, o tada nužengus praėjimu tarp visų svečių patį diplomą atsiimti užkampėje. Po oficialiosios ceremonijos susirinkome mano departamente, kur buvo užkandukų, mūsų kurso bendra nuotrauka ir apdovanojimai. Gavau prizą už pasiekimus ir departamento gyvenimo gerinimą! Liūdniausia dienos dalis buvo atsisveikinimai, bet tikiu, kad su tais, kurie rūpi, matomės ne paskutinį kartą. Apibendrinant - nors gyvenimo etapas ir baigtas, aš visai nejaučiu pabaigos.
During the graduation ceremony I was missing so many of my darlings - it would have been my dream to have all of my beloved ones with me! But accompanied by my loveliest mom (or sister according to everyone else) and two of my very best friends I made my way to the university to collect that extraordinary piece of paper. Even though we managed to get confused when collecting the tickets and the gown we ended up having enough time for a mini photo shoot. The actual ceremony was gorgeous - held in the most picturesque hall of the University with organ music and a choir, beautifully colorful gowns of lecturers and professors, all of the guests wearing their fanciest cloths and brightest smiles filled with pride. I was one of the first ones to be called on stage; my surname was pronounced funnily but almost correctly and I managed to step on the stage without falling over. After shaking the hand of an important gentleman I made my way down the aisle in-between the rows of guests to collect my certificate from a desk somewhere round the corner. After the official part we gathered in my department for snacks, joint picture of all of my course, and awards. I was awarded for making a notable achievement during my time in the department and contributing to the general life of the department! The saddest part of the day was all the goodbyes; although I do strongly believe that it's not the last time I meet the ones I care about. In conclusion, even though all seems to be over, I don't feel any end being here.
