onlensreflexYesterday I graduated my College Program. Well, I'm not actually finished yet (I still have three weeks to get fired), but I got my Certificate of Completion at a graduation ceremony! I brought Pukamon along, since he's been here this whole time too (even if he hasn't actually worked beyond making the occasional sandwich).
Afterwards we went to Epcot with a couple of my flatmates and the trainee to take graduation photos. We started out in front of Spaceship Earth but then decided to take hat tossing photos around the world. This one is my favorite.
The trainee took Pukamon's being alive and not a stuffed animal like I told her when we were sixteen very well. I was quite pleasantly surprised.
Last week was, as Pukamon and Joey-kun mentioned, the winter formal at Coronado Springs Resort. Characters galore, but my date and I only bothered to line up for Tiana-hime and Naveen-ouji, and that's on her camera. (Hikari-san, I'll grab those for you.) So this is just us.
When I got home (at five in the morning. after party after party after party!), Pukamon stole my tie.
So now y'all who haven't met me yet know what I look like. Yes, I know: My partner is cuter than I am.
Apart from all that, I've spent my week freezing. 6C! It's weird: I always hate when people assume Australia's gorgeous and hot all the time, but I guess I felt the same way about Florida. Pukamon's lucky to have blubber and not work outside most of the time. No wonder he likes snow.
How was your week?
(OOC:
"Epcot" is still in English, because Ash doesn't have the vocab to translate the full meaning of the acronym (never learnt "prototype" in Japanese) and thinks it'd be too long to bother, and Disney doesn't so much as transliterate names let alone translate them (written down they just sit there in English amongst the other language; out loud, directions sound really weird).
"Coronado" and the character names are transliterated into katakana.
"Spaceship Earth" got lost in translation and became "Spaceship of Earth".
The honorifics he gave Tiana and Naveen are only there in the Japanese version; in English he just calls them, well, "Tiana and Naveen", not "Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen".
Unrelated to translation: OH MAN WHAT IS PERSPECTIVE AND SHADING.)
