Convocation

I'm going to be posting separate posts about the past several days that I missed.

The day after the Ambassador's Ball was Convocation. They acknowledged the graduating seniors, several speeches were made, and they presented the final video/slideshow. I completely lost it. This was when it finally hit me that the voyage was ending. I had to get up and leave, so I went out on one of the side decks and let my tears fall into the ocean. This was it. This was the end. I barely regained composure, and headed back inside just in time for the final video/slideshow. It was wonderful. The photographer and videographer did an excellent job at recapturing the voyage. I really enjoyed the presentation.

That day was also packing day. Our suitcases had to be packed and taken to our designated spots by 1:30pm so that they could be prepared for immigration/customs/debarkation the next day. It was surreal watching everyone bring their baggage out to the deck. Everyone was all packed up.

I spent the rest of that day enjoying our last night together with my friends. Bittersweet.
