It was a graduation day today. From 10 Am to 4:30 PM, people were giving speeches and diplomas, celebrating students with good grades, taking group pictures, etc. I was involved in many ceremonies.

It was a fig chocolate, with a rich taste. The student is now analyzing and arranging his data before his graduation.
