Graduation: not the end, but the beginning.

All in all, Jeff's graduation ceremony was very nice. There were no long winded speeches from the valedictorians or the faculty, and the procession of the Edmond North High School Class of 2004 went surprisingly quickly (though Scott reported that he was bored).

There were signs all over the Myriad that said "no saving seats" and "no air horns", and there were both anyway. That kinda pissed me off.

Both the band and the choir performed. The band played all the requisite pieces associated with a graduation ceremony, and the choir sang two selections, "In My Life" by the Beatles (lyrics in previous post) and "I Will Be Your Window", which I didn't get to hear all the words to because we were sitting above and behind the choir.

The graduates then threw their mortarboards (grad caps) in the air (after first removing their tassels) and silver and blue balloons came down from the ceiling, and then it was over.

Usually, we'd go out as a family to a restaurant of the graduate's choosing, but both Amalia and Joey were tired (and Joey's cutting a mollar so he's not in a great mood anyway) so we're going tomorrow instead. So we all went home.

And I'm still up...
