Graduation ’10

Posted in Intro to PR on May 9, 2010 by mrtarplin

I went to the commencement ceremony yesterday to see some of my friends for the last time for a while. It was pretty hot out, but i was able to maintain my cool by standing in the shadows of some trees. This year there were a lot more people than there were last year and i didnt like that. I dont mind there being a lot of people at graduation, but last year there were more girls in summer dresses and it was like a dream. This year was a lot more random people who just looked like they didnt really expect to be at graduation until they found themselves at the gate.

I usually expect people to at least wear a linen suit or a polo, but i saw folks in white t’s, basketball shorts, and i half exected to see someone walk by in pajamajeans :-/  last year seemed much more formal and appropriate and i liked the crowd better. while imequally proud of the accomplishments of both graduating classes, i gotta say the commencement of ’09 was exponentially better than ’10.
