personally I will recommend a bad advice: tell your parents you will go to the graduation blah blah, and not show up. if they ask, lol sorry i been kidnapped.
now that I think of it, I never attended my graduation ceremony too.
since it is still awhile away how about talking it down to your parents and see if they can somehow spare a thought. They can always attend your PhD graduation. <--- that is, if it happens.
Oh man, I wonder what acts are coming to our shores this year.
MayN is a fixture now and frankly I think she sucks, I hope this year is better than the last. So far we have 2 events lined up for March and May, but only in June is anything truly worth seeing
