Re: Off Topic 2011

We had 4 practices (3 at the school, 1 at the church the ceremony was actually at) for graduation. We didn't need them at all.

It's been far too long since I've seen UHF. Since it's on Netflix instant streaming, that will be changing tonight!

If there's a flick from the '80s that's ripe for an update it's this one! I loved that movie back in the day. Maybe i'll watch it tonight myself.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Many years ago.......my high school graduation pracitce was 3 hours long in my non air conditioned high school auditorium. Actual graduation was 90 minutes long in the same non air conditioned high school auditorium.

It was awful.......graduation was June 18th and it was 94 degrees outside, but in that room it was 110.......People were sweating down.

For college.......we didn't have a graduation practice. Dean was like damn it we all adults, you walk down the right side of the room, go up on stage on the left side, walk across, shake hands, pause, go back to your seat.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Yeah that's crazy then. Any ideas why?

My HS does their ceremony at The Palace of Auburn Hills, so in the week upcoming to my graduation it was on the verge of being postponed if the Pistons would play the Nets past game 4. They got swept so nothing happened. I told the student pres that if there was a game we should've had the ceremony during halftime.

we were in a church so we were sitting in 3 different pew sections and there was a debate about where we entered and exited the pew row

Agreed. I'd LOVE Al to do a sequel. I'd be in the theater at midnight, bringing everyone I've ever met (ever).

Meh, when I graduated, they branded us on our back with the HS logo and gave us a pick axe and shovel and put us to work in the mines immediately following.



Actually my graduation was very boring but quite comfortable in the local sports complex that was air conditioned. I did sneak in a flask of liquor though. That was cool.

Re: Off Topic 2011

My advice is to keep all avenues open and see which road is the one best suited for you.

Good luck!

Yeah that's what I might have to do cause I could see myself doing and enjoying all of my current options, but can't narrow it down. I'll have to do some research cause I register for summer classes when I go up for orientation the 25th. Gonna call my uncle he's a HC for a HS down in the miami area so i'll see how that career is like.

Re: Off Topic 2011

This song has surpassed AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long as the most annoying, overplayed bar song of all time.

Thanks Sopranos and Family Guy.

...and '05 White Sox World Series run for Chicagoans.

I apologize in advance if this has been posted before. It's a couple of months old.

Re: Off Topic 2011

For high school we had like 5 graduation practices. Some were inside some on the football field because we didn't know whether graduation would be inside or outside cuz of rain. They switched the days for indoor and outdoor without telling people, so everyone had to sit in the sun for like 2 hours without sunscreen and everyone got burned for graduation.

College we didn't have any practice, just showed up and did it. College graduation was horrible, they didn't even announce names or anything. We just sat through a boring speech, then sat there waiting for 5,000 + people to go up, get their diploma, and take a picture.
