Regan’s high school graduation

We drove to Edmonton yesterday for Regan’s high school graduation. We stayed at a hotel in Nisku, near the airport. My parents and Sinéad came up as well. Actually, Regan and Sinéad drove with them.

Today, after I met with some clients of mine in nearby Beaumont, we drove to Vermillion, where the graduation was. Only one other grade 12 student, other than Regan, showed up for grad. It ended up being a pretty short ceremony, but it was nice. Mary escorted Regan during the procession, and I narrated a slideshow I had created of several photos of Regan.

My parents treated us to supper at White Spot in Edmonton afterward. We’ll be driving back home tomorrow.

My convocation

I started my university education in 1997. 15 years later (almost 16 if you count the last six months, when I wasn’t taking classes), I finally finished my classes. I convocated last week at the University of Lethbridge, receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree. I majored in drama and minored in French.

Here are some photos:

It’s official. Kim Siever, B.A.

I wish more people understood this concept.

Just in case no one believed me

Filming

I got parts in two films put on by New Media students as part of their film class. In The Necklace, I play the part of a disgruntled storeowner; it is only one line long. In horror film, House of Hobbes, I play the lead part of Calvin.

We finished up filming today. I am glad that’s done, but I enjoyed it. I look forward to the final projects.
