Today was my college's spring convocation, held on the last full week of classes for the academic year. Spring convocation is when the entire Senior class is 'rung in' by the campus bell as alumni, and the junior class are officially seniors. What a trip, right?
After some toasty subs @ Quiznos, my girlfriends and I got our academic attire on, had a couple of brewskies (for kicks, you know :P) and got in a huge line that milled about outside the chapel. One of my friends Jeremey had brought a boombox (well, an iPod one, it is the 21rst century, right?) and was playing really great 80's-90's classics. When the line started moving and we approached the doors to the chapel, Tina Turners Whats Love Got to Do With It came on, and the whole back of the line started singing the lyrics to the chorus. Fantastic. I felt like I was in a movie.
Convocation was good, I'm glad I went. We took our class photo, took off our robes and went to our first alumni party in the alumni house. I'm trying not to get too sentimental about it all. I'm trying. I still have a lot of work to do.
