Since my friend graduated from university recently, I went to the graduation ceremony or 卒業式（そつぎょうしき・Sotsugyou shiki) which lasted a about four hours. The girls wore Hakamas and most of the guys wore suits. I think about 5,000 people graduated that day!
March is usually filled with graduations and a Spring break(春休み) before a new school year starts. Also, most people that have just graduated from university in March, will start their new jobs in April. It's definitely a time full of change, transferring from the old to new, the same feeling that you get when Spring arrives.
Right after the graduation ceremony I had some ramen with the family and then I was off to Tokyo for the weekend!!
