Well well

Its only 11am and already the day has been "interesting."

I went to get my immunization form filled out at Wardenburg (the health center). The nurse who filled it out managed to convince me to get my tetnus booster -- so by 9am I'd gotten a shot I wasn't expecting.

I walked across school to get to the wmst graduation. What I expected (since I hadn't seen any emails or letters with instructions about the event) was a quick informal ceremony with some refreshments. So when I got to the quad and saw the line of women in caps and gowns, I knew I was mistaken. Apparently I missed the information about the very formal and long graduation ceremony. Since I was wearing street clothes (which for me equates to jeans and t-shirt) I elected to just sit in the audience while the ceremony went on.

When they got to the Graduate Certificate section, they announced and talked about each of the students who received it. One was a fine arts student, another was philosophy. Each had a nice intro from a prof who knew them well. Then they called my name. I expected one particular prof, who I knew well, to do the talking for me. Instead, some woman who I'd never met read part of the essay that I wrote to get into the program. So...I introduced myself...basically...through some other woman's voice. It was really, really embarresing because I did *not* write that piece to be read aloud as an self-introduction. I would never have wanted that read out loud like that.

So as soon as the ceremony ended, and I could leave the small auditorium without being noticed, I bolted right out of there.

This all put a crimp in my day.

That's a rite of passage gone seriously awry. It's not your imagination--this university botches things pretty comprehensively.
