I need order, people!

Well today I went to the most un-organized graduation rehearsal. I can't imagine how it ran with the entire class there.

We gathered at the Cistern and the lady spoke about how we shouldn't walk too close together, but don't have big gaps. And about how we'll go to the room for our major in Maybank Hall, and the flowers will be in front of Maybank... you know, all that stuff. Well most people were talking and not really paying attention, mostly because she was telling us stuff we already knew.

Then we went to the rooms where we will meet Saturday and after several minutes someone came in and told us to line up alphabetically. Well it was pretty chaotic saying "what's your name?" "R's over here!" and such. As we walked out of the room I noticed this one girl who I had a class with, whose last name starts with a T, was behind me! Ugh, hopefully it'll be better Saturday when we'll have our cards and can easily look and realize, oh I'm supposed to be over there.

Then we walked to the stage and sat down. I'm going to be stage right (so when you look at the stage, I'll be on the left). I'm somewhat towards the middle-ish. I'm one of the last Psychology majors, and then there's only Sociology in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Then there's the School of Languages, Cultures and World Affairs, which is basically the Spanish, French, etc majors... and there aren't many.

We didn't go through the whole ceremony like in high school. She only said to go to whoever if your name is difficult to pronounce so she can mark it. Then she reminded us to hold the flowers in our left arm and take the "diploma" with our left hand and shake with our right. Okay, most of us graduated high school 4 years ago, we remember.

Oh and the President won't be there because his son is graduating from U of GA at the same time. I've had the worst luck when it comes to graduations!
