The best day of my life was the day of my graduation, December the 2nd of 2009. I had been studying languages in Trieste (in the north of Italy) for 6 years and, a few months ago, the day finally arrived.
I studied for all the exams with a very close friend of mine, Federica, and she graduated in that day too. The day before, my parents, my sister and my friends arrived from Sardinia and we had dinner in my house; it was really very funny because everyone was very excited for the day after.
The night before my graduation day I didn't sleep very well, I woke up at 6:30 am and I felt very stressed and nervous. At 10:30 am Federica discussed her thesis and she graduated with the maximum score. I was very happy for her but at the same time I felt really stressed because I had to wait for my turn.
Finally, the moment arrived for me too and I finished my university studies with the maximum score. I was really happy, everyone was crying for the happiness and the party was very funny: in the north of Italy there in a strange tradition: when a student graduates, his friends make him a lot of jokes and force him to walk around the city disguised in a ridiculous way. So, Federica an I were disguised and our friends forced us to sing and dance in the main place of the city.
Another tradition for the graduation day is to write a very long poetry about the student's life with all the mistakes and the embarrassing things of his life. The student has to read it and to drink something alcoholic when he makes a mistake, so at the end of the day we were a little drunk but we were really very happy!
