jd graduated today with his bs in english. why english when he's going into optometry? because its an "easy" major...or so he thought.
this was a graduation unlike any other. and i only fell asleep for a few minutes.
we only went to the smaller one in the afternoon with the college of arts and humanities. need i say more? i will though, don't worry!
it started off with an alligator (in costume of course) crawling across the stage, followed by a band of pirates (luckily not somalians) singing and dancing. this was the processional! nope, no pomp and circumstance here. captain hook and his pirate partners. what the? maybe i like things a little traditional...is that too much to ask?
there was an assortment of random performances throughout the rest of the convocation. interesting.
the BEST part was a girl in performing arts. all of the performing arts grads had to do some cheesy something as they crossed the stage and this girl was no different...until she fell. she was lifting up her leg for some sort of thing and fell. in a skirt. my mom and i could barely keep it together. isn't that your worst nightmare at graduation? why would you do that?
second to that girl was jd as the graduates came across the stage in the processional. he was behind a guy in a wheelchair, so they guy had to circle back around and go down the ramp. jd just kept on following him. he didn't realize for a bit and then had to run back and get in line. he is a nut!
obviously we were entertained, even if it was a little weird.
walking across the stage.
if you look really closely, you can see that he lined his feet up EXACTLY with the little template on the floor. that is what the dean of the department is looking at. she looked down at him wondering what in the world he was doing. i knew he would have to do something silly up there.
