I graduated from Daimi September 2005. Normally, Daimi doesn’t throw graduation events and the diplomas arrive via snail-mail — as did mine. However, once in a while they DO host a kind of post-graduation event where people who recently graduated from Daimi receives an official congratulation and a handshake.

I attended one of these events yesterday. In the invitation it was noted that the event was held together with Iha, who celebrated the first graduates from the newly created “Master of Engineering” line in cooperation with AU. There was several invited speakers, even the mayor of Aarhus was invited (although he never made it, he was stuck in a train due to bad weather).

So I was expecting a rather dull afternoon with the highlights being the chance of seeing some old friends. And I wasn’t dissappointed. The speaches was indeed dull. Some of the speakers did not even mention that we (the graduates from Daimi) was there. They only spoke about the engineers and their bright future. It was a complete waste of time — Well, except for drinking a few beers with some mates Which is always a good thing!
