May's celebration extravaganza

It's my sister!

After I got back from Dubai, I went home for the weekend for a family celebration extravaganza. My dear sister graduated from UPEI on Saturday afternoon. Saturday was also my older younger brother's birthday, and of course Mother's Day was on Sunday. I was a busy sister/daughter.

I really enjoyed attending UPEI's convocation, even though it took forever for my sister to actually walk across the stage (she was the second last graduate!). I love watching all the graduates and the professors in their ceremonial garb. I love celebrating the achievement of all the graduates who worked so hard to earn their diplomas or degrees. It made me remember my own UPEI grad, which was *cough* nine years ago. So much has happened to me since then, but it seems like those nine years have just flown by.

Okay, enough sentimental stuff.

I also learned that I want a new camera. I've been using my mom's new camera for the past few weeks. It has 10X zoom and 7.1 MP, and it's so user-friendly. My ancient 3.2 MP camera with its 2.0X zoom pales in comparison. I had to leave my mom's camera with her in PEI, which is only fair since it does belong to her. But oh, how I want a new one.

I also managed to squeeze in a trip to the Centre, and caught the end of the Rural's musical. I can't give a decent review because I only saw half of it, so let's just leave it there. I had a fabulous post-show chat with Maria, which was an unexpected but splendid surprise!

And I had curry.

Okay, almost caught up to current events...
