Most wicked hat hair


Finally, it's convocation day!

If you've gone to one, you know how boring they are. It starts with a procession of old academics of unknown affiliation to sit on stage and watch. I knew a few of them too! Then came the speech from the new President. Nothing to write home about. I tune out when any speech hits "the oxford dictionary defines..." I was very dissappointed by that. I was hoping the new President would not have to resort to the lame definition thing, then follow with three solid quote from famous people. To cap it off, apparently this is the largest graduating class this year of over 7500, ie; you're a dime a dozen. ;o) It really wasn't that bad. Just your run of the mill.

Then came our turn to go up, get in line and shake hands! I was extremely impressed with the announcers who had to pronounce everyone's names. Mine was a cinch compared to some from Africa. I think most of the applause was for them for doing such a good job with the names, really.

It's a fuzzy picture I know. More to come as they are on other people's cameras.
