Only one week ago, I finally get graduated!! I mean: get FREE!!!
It was like a movie sequence, with the anxiety, the thrill, the real emotion and a soundtrack in background: the alarm clock rang at 6.30, shaving, shower, tea, suit and tie. No phone calls please! Mac, cables, remote control, thesis taken..ok..I'm happy(strange??)
Wagner has the capability of adaptation in every situation but Mozart was more appropriate to drive with the car, so Die Zauberflote will be!
One by one the components of the commission arrived and my colleagues and I , metaphorically speaking, had the holes tight!!! I put my gown and I tried to relax and be focused on singing softly Un'aura amorosa from Così fan tutte by Mozart, trying to remember the beautiful performance of Kaufmann at the Scala( I know that was too scholastic but the tone of his voice was extraordinary-what a pity that he get so ugly with his voice now).
I was the third, so an half-hour later was my turn: the professor of mine made an excellent introduction of me, consequently I felt more relaxed and everything went easy! I think I've spoken for 15 minutes, there was only a question after the discussion of the thesis of mine and it was finally done! I have to admit that I stumbled once during the speech but it was a truly tiny second:-)
The professors commission gone out for 20 minutes to resolve the graduation marks..the longest waiting of my entire life, EVER!
Again with the gown and the mortarboard, I put myself in front of the president of the professor commission trying to listen what he was saying, but I can't remember exactly that because I was so excited when he pronounced my name and my mind gone away: i can only remember that when he said the degree mark my I felt a injection of adrenaline flowing through my body and the crowd of relatives and friends behind me clapping hardly. Yes, I get the highest mark with honors ("cum laude") and I think the only piece of music really appropriate was:
THEN BEER
I've almost forgot: I became a dentist!
