\"Official<\/a><\/div>\n

I received my official commencement invitation today. We got the short stick this year. Our ceremony is at 8:00 am, which means graduate check in is at 7:00 am. Way too early.<\/p>\n

I told Brian that we need to buy my graduation regalia this Saturday. The WSU bookstore<\/a> is open until 2:00 pm. I should be done with the Green Team thing well before noon so Brian and I will have plenty of time.<\/p>\n

I thought I would be smart and save my cap and gown from undergrad. I figured I would save some money this way. WSU is a lot smarter than I am. The masters graduation regalia is different than the undergrad regalia<\/a>, unfortunately. This means I have to spend $50 out of my own pocket. Maybe someone will be nice and donate some funds to my Paypal as a graduation gift<\/a> (hint, hint).<\/p>\n

Anyway, I will be well-decorated this year since I am part of Golden Key and Beta Gamma Sigma. Go me!<\/p>\n

The only downside is that Jen’s graduation is the same day as mine. I’m guessing mom and dad will go to that one. I will have Brian, Donna (Dave has something going on that day), and Jan in my corner at least. =P<\/p>\n

No word yet on a graduation feast. You figure that I deserve it with this being a masters and all. Call it a fee for missing my graduation.<\/p>\n

Anyway, those who cannot make it can watch commencement webcast on Shockervision.tv<\/a> (click on the Commencement<\/em> link). Select the May 17th, 8:00 am ceremony.<\/p>\n

P.S. You can go here to view past commencement videos<\/a>. Click on the Search<\/em> tab, then select the May 13, 2006 Barton School of Business commencement video to watch my undergrad commencement video from two years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
