After a long time in school and many preparations, the big day is very close. I will graduate tomorrow Friday the 9th of June from ABB Industrial Highschool i Västerås. I have a tight scheudle tomorrow and will be doing many things.

7:30: Breakfeast with champagne at Aros Congress Center followed by signing each other’s studentmössor
9:00: Ending ceremony, I will perform with Ritual Fire Dance by Manuel de Falla and show a slideshow from the last three years. Scolarships are also given to a few students.

After that we get our grades from our teachers. I have an average of 19.68 “grade points”, where 20.00 is the maximum.

10:30: Photography at the Ottar office, the ABB Headquarters of Västerås

11:00: Sten Jakobsson, CEO of ABB Sweden AB, gives a speech for all graduated students and we recieve a graduation diploma from him

11:30: The traditional “run” from the Ottar stairway and we sing Studentsången backed-up by Västerås Big Band. This concludes our education on ABB Industrigymnasium 

12:00: Another Swedish tradition; going round and round the city core in a large truck decorated by birch branches and bragging about how good we are. All schools do this at the same time and at the same place as us.

14:30: Celebration in my home

19:00: Me and my friends go to Sundbyholm for a private party. I am not 18 years old yet, and therefore I cannot attend the official parties downtown.
