Level Of Difficulty at Work: 1 out of 10
NapTime During Lunch: 10min
Just came back from a graduation that wasn't rehearsed. it's Sillymadness. Jenny, Evan's girlfriend, is done. Graduated from Microcellular Biology.. ahh yea, it reminds me of the days with Bert, Ann n Paul at Ned's bookstore, where 'i got USED at Ned's.' All them Bio 1a books.. oi
Silly thing about the graduation was that it started at 7pm. It was sunny and warm when it started. Then the question becomes 'are they gonna call each and every person?' that'll take at least 2.5hrs+. Well they decided to. Oh, before all that there was no rehearsal so the music begins, everybody cheers, the first of the peoples enter, then they just stand there. So for about 5 minutes people are cheering, but the graduates are just standing, in traffic.
After all that, comes the usual speeches.. Why in the world do they need to be those 30-minute almost-class-lectures? And it's usually the same, the speech begins, it's funny, then it goes off into some 'back in the day...' story or 'it's just like when...' lordy.
The dada speeches are over, the special students are recognized, then it's time for the individual walks. Now it's dark, about 8pm, and the head of the department gives every individual who walks a hug, a handshake, then a pic. By the time Jenny does her walk, everybody in front of her left into the crowds, or home.. heck after a bit we left. Didn't even get to move the tassle over or toss the cap.. by that time it was almost 10pm. It was only 2/3s done..
i do say though it's good to be asian. 'cuz there was someone named Hugh Moon Gus Kok Man.. Somehow i don't think that was the guys real name..
Tommorrow, oh yes, somehow i'm heading to fresno, for ANOTHER graduation.. gah!
