Well the alarm went off at 6 AM and we had to get up early. Alice's
ar broke down so we have to take Uber to the graduation which is like 80 bucks to spend on the ride. She handled it in stride. she thanks burg car is not seriously damaged. She thinks the sensors went haywire
ecause she didn't put the emergency see break off all the way
hile she was driving.Boy I slept like a rock. I got to get her up because
he's very heavy sleeper and she's been driving around all day. I was the first one up and Adam so
I got coffee for both Alice and myself. It's now 7:09 AM and
e're hoping to be able to rent a car with enterprise. We're going to check out a day
arly from the hotel. This just out,
A mistrail has been declared in the Bill Cosby sexual assault case. They
ould still reach Ryan but I think he's probably dodged a bullet. Yes mesogonamy
ahas taken over again! Well I decided to take the trip
ith Becky and her friend so I would be on time for the graduation
take pictures. The ride was really fun. We rode in the car and make fun of Jackson Browne
ong Lawyers in Love. It is the goofiest song I think that man is ever written or signed
. I got to get a copy of the lyrics. Went to the university and easily find a parking spot. He then took
someone of a long walk towards the graduation area. We walked towards a
lagoon that is near the campus. The area where the ceremony was held abuts the natural
lagoon. Well I I went off from the others to look
4 a good place to eat a photograph or two or three at a graduation mode. They had
a lot of graduates and replace with Gordon pretty tightly. I
looked on the right side of the stage looked around and took some broad crowd shots.
I chilled around there for a little bit. I decided I'd move around towards the center and then I
went to the left side facing the stage. I took a couple pictures of the speakers and videotaped a little bit of their
resentations but not that often. Well after that I managed to stay on the left side
of the stage and it was a pretty good angle for the graduates. That was because
the graduates which we are walking towards my way so
realized that my camera view was close enough to get a half decent picture.
I then discovered that doing video was gonna work out better because I could just use
stills & that's exact moment I want to get. Not
problem with the ceremony is that there was no particular order of who is going to be cold next.
here was no Alpha and there was no school of science is in school of arts. So
had to stand there until I can recognize Hannah through the whole crowd. Well Hannah showed up and I
managed to get a decent picture
of her as she was walking towards shaking hands with the commencement speaker and the head of the University. I was pretty
psyched that I got the
good pictures. After I got the pictures, I went back to find the folks
I was with. I was really hungry so I got myself a breakfast burrito. I think at the spot real
nice and it was only six dollars. Well calls were made by my nieces and we met Alice at a restaurant nearby within walking
distance. She
had rented a brown truck because there was no other cars available during
raduation weekend. We really joyed the restaurant. The food
as mighty tasty. We happen to hang out and yuck it up for a while. I got
a lot of good pictures of everyone chatting and everybody giving Hannah their
raduation gifts. I'll send her a photo album through the Internet. I think
that would be my best idea. Actually Alice thought
of that idea. After we ate we went to the beach and played around for a while. It was really fun
nd easy going well after we did that, Alyssa can do my own thing so Iimmediately called
my friend I met in Philly. And she pick me up 15
inutes later. Meanwhile
my charger had run out but I was able to get it charged for us by a
woman who knew Hannah. She let me use her car charger.
then I went to Hannah's place. It was pretty cool a bunch of people that live there. I was told 12 people live there. It was very very much like us
California commune. It was nice and open and very relaxing. I even got to take a
nap there as well. That was very pleasant. I stuck to my own business as the very handsome looking boys and girls were chilling
out and making
inner for themselves and the guests that
were coming over. The guests are the parents and uncles and relatives of the graduates
nd friends of the graduates. I had a little bit there the food was pretty good for a party
atmosphere that for sure. Yes they had beer but it wasn't like a ridiculous college party. It was very
mellow and chill. After we hung around it had its place, we went to the big old shindig
arbecue that they were having. It was
pretty well packed. We had a pretty good time and then we left around 9:30 PM for the 45 minute
drive back to Ventura in the Marriott hotel. We got home we just mellowed out and
we just listened to our own entertainment on our own individual iPhones that we had with us.
I am told I snore. It was a very fun day for this 55 year old man who
ppreciates the chance to see how the other half (of the USA) lives. At the end we got some snacks and park the funny looking orange and brown pick up truck but I also rented in with the bad
