The graduation in captivity

A day waited for long time, a day Elisa has seen and seen again in her head and never figured out like this. Covid-19 has been that also, indeed. Elisa has hoped until last, has hoped to live the most important day of her studying journey like her mates did in the past years. That was not what happened.

The most important thing on graduation day is the internet connection. No blackouts or interruptions are allowed. We are not in the lecture hall, only at home, in the kitchen. The commission is not sitting in austere armchairs behind the towering desks, it is only showing itself on a screen.

It remains however a palpable tension, Elisa hides it under her beauty, a timid, almost graceful seduction, grace is not among her primary qualities but on this day she disclosures it in a surprising way. It is very close, here we are, soon the first presentations of the degree thesis begin.
