I have discovered that the company I work for has an offroad-route!
We have really enjoyed it. You just go by car at different surfaces, hills, bottom of the river, road bumps, fallen woods and timbers, you drive completely in the water (they asked us to close the windows :) or a hill 45°, where you just stop to enjoy the beautiful view.. I am lloking forward to doing it again and again and again!

Graduation Ceremony
My parents came this week around 6 in the morning to my room and asked: "Guess, what is new?"
I turned to the other side of my body and said: "I really don´t know!"
They laughed and said: "Your brother is having today his graduation ceremony."
They told me that they had asked him yesterday:
"Won´t you have around these days the grad ceremony?"
"I don´t know, I have to check it.", asnwered my brother. He is one of the human-oriented people, not time-oriented.
Two hours later, he became a message from his friend:
"Do you come tomorrow?"
"What, where, why?", he was surprised.
"Well, to the grad ceremony!"
"Is this tomorrow?"
He told us the news at eleven at night.
So we came. It was really a short one, because they left away all the boring stuff. The vice-dean of the uni just asked the vice-chancellor:
"Your magnificiency, please give us your agreement to issue the diploms."
"Your spectability, herewith I give you the agreement." And that was it.
Of course, all the graduates became their diplom. 30 people in 30 minutes. After that he has a small unconventional speach: "Dear graduates, I am very happy that you are now holder of a diplom of the oldest, the biggest and the best university (murmur in the audience). There are certain borders of knowlegde. We would be very happy, if you will come during your further studies to this border as close as possible. Don´t forget that this diplom gives many possibilities.."
Which I considered much better than the speech at my grad ceremony: "Besides that I would like to give you a list of study possibilites at our faculty in languages: english, german, french.. I am very pleased that I can provide you with all the statistics of graduates.. (yawn in the audience)"
Anyway, welcome to the world of people with diplom! The only difference I have noticed till yet, is that when people want something from you, which you don´t want to do, the use your title :)
