Why do you have to look like such a dork to officially become a doctor? :der:

Who came up with those goofy ridiculously poofy graduation gowns and silly hats? :eyebrow:

Do I have to be grown-up and professional now? :sad:

Can I still eat brains and be respected? :drool:




My MIL is bringing a digital camera so I should have some sexydorkpics for you all later :sexywink:
 
Congrats! Those silly outfits were first used in European universities in the Middle Ages. Since I wear medieval costumes on weekends it wasn't a big departure when I got my baccalaureate.
 
:applaud: Congrats! :applaud:

You need the mortar boards to throw in the air :up:

Don't poke yourself in the eye when you throw your hat up in the air.

Do people really do that? It seems like that would happen only in the movies :eyebrow:

(I mean throwing the cap :der: )

Yes they do. It is a testament to academic achievement. Stand in a group of people all throwing pointy cornered hats into the air without thinking about where they land....

:yes:

The mortar boards are a really big deal at our university, 2 of my friends are graduating this year and the only thing they talk about is getting to throw them in the air. :|
 
There was no mortar board throwing, "it does not follow the decorum of the day" :sad:

But my dad came, a nice unexpected surprise :)

The speaker was :yawn:, but we had a slide show at the end with various candids from our 4 years there, and my friend (the class president) took my suggestion and had "Beautiful Day" playing in the background! :applaud:
