Yesterday, I came to see my niece' graduation day.. For a very long time, I've heard again the theme music of graduation rites.. I remember my graduation day in college. I graduated from PUP Sta mesa Manila, a state university. Can you guess how many students are there in our school? Almost 5,000 (more or less) just in our campus in Sta mesa Manila. There were hundreds and hundreds or even thousands who graduated during my time. It was a two day event , there was the morning session and the afternoon session. So many graduates, and the parents too. It was a jampacked colliseum!!! Seems like there was a concert going on... Can you imagine how many students we were from different courses thou?...... how about you? Will you share your greatest and cherished moments the last time you graduate from school?

The last place I graduated from was UF, and I honestly cannot remember if we even had music to process/walk into the auditorium! I do remember it was a very big event though, that was separated into two or more sessions, I can't remember exactly now. I also remember we had a lovely graduation breakfast, I guess I always remember free food!! lol I remember that my friend "walked" but hadn't finished his degree yet, because he didn't want to do the walk another time, because he was going to be finished really soon anyway. I thought that was interesting. I never knew they allowed that til then.
I do remember my high school graduation and I think they played Canon in D, which I suppose is what you mean by the graduation theme music. I always like to hear that song and it's especially nice in the "Graduation Song" by Vitamin C!
