People who are attending convocation are directed to a website giving a list of items prohibited inside Lloyd Noble. Weapons, alcohol, drugs, confetti, spikes, chains, spiked chains. . . Ok, not surprising. This, however:
Items allowed in Lloyd Noble Center for Commencement and Convocations only include:
Baby strollers
Baby seats
Umbrellas
CRACKS ME UP. 'Minds me of some hazing rules I remember hearing about. . .
Oh, and hey. Guess who's going to graduation ceremonies after all? :-D Decided if the bookstore was still willing to sell me a cap and gown, I might as well revel in the pomp and circumstance while I was in town!
As some of you know and most of you might not, I finished my coursework in January and have been gone from Norman for the most part since then. I'd also decided that coming back here just for the ceremony and headache of 5 kadjillion people was not worth it. Then I made the fateful mistake of exposing myself to Norman for a whole two weeks before graduation (finishing up honors shtuff - thesis defense tomorrow, wish me luck!).
If I would've just stayed out of town these past few weeks I never would've been tempted. . . but I didn't, so here goes nothing! Hoopla it is, hoopla it is.
I will be most thoroughly gradjiated.
