honestly they either need to find speakers worthy of an hour time slot or better yet, if you want to use alumni (which is fine) then give a more reasonable time slot. Frankly do you think these kids are going to remember what is said? I went to two of three of various college graduations and I don't remember at all.

It was exceedingly windy. I discovered that 4 bobby pins won't help you in gale force winds.

Dad is disappointed i don't have a pork pie hat.I WANT one. they're about 100$. I suspect I'll be getting one for my birthday now.


At least the party we faculty throw ourselves was good. Good snacks, good wine/beerr, good conversation. We even broke out in song.

You should be able to find a good porkpie hat for way less than $100. I saw one at Ross for $20.

I used to have one I got at Goodwill for less than $5, but Goodwill is catch as catch can, I suppose.

these ones are technically tams and have to have the tassels and how many points means something.

Academia is nuts that way

they're technically tams but if you goggle academia, pork pie hats it'll take you to a wiki reference to the history of it

Yeah, I looked it up yesterday and found it was 'the buster keaton hat' which I knew right away.

Wow. Party. I can't imagine. We have hours of pontification and a huge school where the list of names goes on forever and then everyone goes home.
I'm gonna offer to buy margaritas at the mexican restaurant across the street next time.

We have 28,000 students and my dept. has 50+ members, so we split up and each go to one of 3 graduations (Fall, Spring, Summer) a year. That's something :)
