What the shit is this?
Based upon what I know (including the below letter that was emailed to us earlier this week), I am pissed about my graduation. For those who don't know, the HC does its own "Medallion Ceremony" because, technically, graduation is with the entire university in Boca Raton. Last year there were a few hitches but it came together relatively well.
This year, however, the Interim Dean is being an uncompromising, uncaring, unconcerned egotist who seems to think our graduation is about her schedule and desires. I guess it's a "fuck-the-students" kind of attitude because she does not seem to give a damn what we, as the graduating class, want for OUR Medallion Ceremony. Like, not at 9 o'clock in the fucking morning for one.
Needless to say, this is a little on the irritating side and, while I liked the Interim Dean prior to this, I am starting to become a little less respectful.
Any suggestions on what I ought to submit for my info for the graduation program? I want it to not be completely lame-ass.
