The Chronicles

Salt Lake City, Utah

Today was the LDS Business College.

Supposedly it is (or it was) my graduation but my advisor told me that I wasn’t allow to walk because I owed money to the school.

(I thought it was weird that they wouldn’t let me walk since walking doesn’t really have to do anything with the actual graduation)

As part of my job, they asked me to announce that there were people translating into Spanish for those parents who didn’t speak English.

30 minutes before the event I stood up in the pulpit (in front of everybody) every 5 minutes and said “Para todos los que quieran escuchar el evento en español tenemos disponibles audífonos de traducción”

An old lady asked my boss what I was saying; she explained that I was announcing that we had head phones for those who needed to hear the event in Spanish.

Oh that’s nice, she said but… why doesn’t he say that in English so we all can understand

Mi boss looked at her as if she was kidding and replied with a sarcastic tone “I guess is because the head phones are for those who don’t understand… English”

The old lady looked at her very serious, like knowing that she just have been mocked, and said: “It makes sense”

Thunder Stolen

It was cool to see all my friends dressed up into the graduation outfit. I didn’t think it would affect me that much, but I wanted to walk too, it too was MY day.

When the it was all over I went to the office where my adviser tells me “Oh, by the way, you could have walked today… I found out that you could… sorry”

I felt so disappointed and sad! I couldn’t stand being in the office anymore so I took one of those graduation outfit and went downstairs to take pictures with my friends… but everyone was gone already.

I felt that my moment, my experience, a memory was taken away from me. (Unintentionally)

None the less, I’m graduating!!! YAY!… Good for me, congratulations to me!

Nope… It’s not the same…Oh well
