Trip to CoMo

Lot of things to talk about that happened in the recent past, especially on my trip to Mizzou to attend my graduation ceremony. The flight journey till Chicago was good with the company of a Mexican girl. We both had a great time together talking about each others' cultures, religions, traditions, countries and what not! A little about her - She was very friendly, from Mexico, is an International Business Student at some university in North Carolina. She was going to Mexico on a holiday and shez gonna come back to the US to work at Orlando for Disney. So, we talked through out our journey and we became good friends. We had lunch together at Mc D's and then took a pic of us together and bid farewell to each other. It was really a memorable journey.

OK, so from St. Louis, where I met Varun (nice to see him after quite a few months), who came to pick me up at the airport, we drove to CoMo in the night. There I was - Back to CoMo for two golden days with Friends, Friends and Friends... whom I missed badly after I moved from CoMo.

The Graduation Day! (12/19/08 - Friday) We all went together walking till the venue as a typical Desi gang! Dressed ourselves up for the graduation. The ceremony started, and after the speeches came our turn to Walk. I don't know why but I went completely blank on the stage. My sub-conscious mind was making me smile and thank, which I did even before the presenters said congratulations! :D After it all got over, we had a very long photo-session in various group formations. But, I forgot to get some solo pictures of mine. However, we got some really good group pics.

After-night party!!! Had a blast! Most of us were high, but we didn't dance as we used to do before. We got cool Mizzou mugs as graduation gifts on which everyone, who was present at the party, signed.

The next day - were just lazying around till we decided to go to the movie, Slumdog Millionaire, which was a spur of the moment choice. The movie was good only in parts. After that, had a good dinner. We got the food ordered from Taj and was delicious.

That's all and the next day, back again to VA! On the whole, it was a really fun and memorable trip to my CoMo!
