Picking up from yesterday –
One fun thing I forgot to mention is that I didn’t realize until this ceremony that there are specific colors based on your type of degree!
And since my degree is in music, that means I get pink! Isn’t that cool?! It was awesome when I got my cap and gown and saw pink on the tassel!
So, after the ceremony, we started just walking away from the venue. The main immediate goal was to get out of the crowd. And then we’d figure out if we wanted to uber or what.
We stopped at a Starbucks. The professor that I hugged texted me while we were there. He asked if we were still around because he wanted to meet my parents. And he ended up swinging by the Starbucks!
So, that was very cool. And it was so funny to hear this amazing Grammy-winning man, who was also an artist in his own right, who’d been signed with Virgin Records (for 3 albums), and toured, and did all this amazing stuff, just like relating to my parents and talking about what it’s like to have kids in school. I mean, I know of course he is a person, but I just found that kinda funny.
After they chatted, and he left, we checked and ubers pretty wildly expensive. And we lucked out, since the T was right there. So we took the T into Boston.
And THEN! We went to see the Red Sox play.
This was really nice because I found out after the fact that going to Fenway Park was on my dad’s bucket list! If I would’ve known that, we wouldn’t have wasted time even throwing out any other ideas. But luckily, it didn’t matter since Fenway was what we landed on.
I wanted to go in the cute little white skirt I was wearing, but my parents convinced me to change into one of my long skirts from Egypt as it was cold. I wish I put a little more thought/look into the fit (and probably worn the white skirt instead of the red one, although if I really cared that much, I’m sure there’s an editing program that can change the color for me).
Anyway… I know this is a short post, but I’ll stop here, so I have a good starting point to talk about the Red Sox game tomorrow!
