May. 31st, 2008 11:33 pmHokay. I have graduated. Sweet, sweet summer vacation.
I now have a Vocational Qualification in Visual Expression. I am also an "ylioppilas", which, apparently, doesn't have an exact equivalent in the English language. So suffice it to say that it basically means I passed the Matriculation Examination and was declared a graduate today. I got/had to wear the student cap and it gave me a slight headache. I hate that hat already, lol.
I also got a scholarship/grant/thing of 75 euros from my vocational school. It doesn't say what I've done to deserve it, just that it originates from some electronics company. I can only assume it's because I do well with computers. The Upper Secondary gave me recognition in the form of a book, for having the best grades out of all this spring's double-graduates. I also got a book from "Suomi-Amerikka Yhdistysten Liitto", which, oddly, doesn't seem to have an English name, but translates to something like "The Union of Finland-America Associations", for being good at English.
I guess that's all for now. Back to slacking off by Monday, haha.
