Was not feeling it. My dad and I went to Paris to celebrate my graduation instead.
I don't think it sucked at all. I'm not one for ceremonial stuff, and only did my undergrad graduation because my parents were really excited about it. So much happened between when I graduated undergrad and when I finished my Master's that no one in my family really cared about the Master's anyway - they were just happy I finished it.
My cousin finished her Master's the same year and we had a "graduation" party with a cake in my hometown before I moved to Chicago.

Wow. I just learned something new. I did not realize that some undergrads actually gave the students hoods. I was under the impression that people only got hoods for Master's degrees. I looked at Pitt for an MSW. I have some credits towards my MSW through Pitt when I worked as a caseworker. Is that what you went for? My parents were happy I graduated, also. Neither one of my parents went to college, so it was a great day. I just complained to my boyfriend how I was so annoyed that we never get anyone really famous (like you having Dan Marino at Pitt) and instead we get the Dean of our colleges or something speaking. Do you know Syracuse had Joe Biden last year? Joe freakin' Biden (although he graduated from Syracuse Law School, so that is expected) and we don't get anyone like that! That is cool that you go Dan Marino. If you don't mind me asking-did he go to Pitt or something?
