Jun. 7th, 2009 03:52 pmMy parents have left now, and it's just Ragnar and me here.
The graduation party turned out very well. David seemed to be pleased at all his gifts and remained long enough to mingle politely with the guests before retreating to his room with his friends.
His paternal grandparents were there for an hour, which was a bit awkward. His father was not present.
There was lots of food, and I got a bit drunk on wine and champagne. I wore my new dress and shoes. The only downside was that the rain poured down all day. Earlier during the day, as we walked home from the kebab restaurant, we saw the students of Södertälje bravely singing and trying to cheer under heavy rain coats. Poor kids.
On Friday morning I said goodbye to my parents and went to work. They left around eleven to drive to my relatives. I worked until one pm and went home to do laundry and watch the students drive around on trucks. Over here they graduate on different days, so the public get to fully enjoy the student experience, LOL.
The new Star Trek film has made me reminisce about the old Star Trek movies I saw over and over when I was a teenager (1980s hair, 1970s special effects, yay.) I decided to cave in to nostalgia and ordered a boxset![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
silversolitaire picked out for me. I haven't seen the first two, so that should be interesting.
I've also been checking out some fan fiction, which is very nice. I'm a fan fiction junkie at the core; I always need something to read. Popular culture at its finest.
Yesterday was our National Day and today is the election to the EU parliament. I'm actually deciding to vote for my dad's favorite candidate, since I trust his judgment and haven't researched enough.
On a final note: I love that summer has come. I often feel less depressed and more optimistic during the summer.
Bonus note: I love being single. It's such a relief to be on my own. You have your friends but you don't have to live with them, XD. Anything can happen, and I love that feeling. :-) Then again, if I ever were to stumble upon the great love of my life I'll probably change my mind. Until then, freedom!
