On That Day

3907_l

I don’t really remember my commencement ceremony very well—I remember it was hot in the gym, and that I had attached a fake collar and top of a tie to my gown so I could wear a t-shirt instead of the required formal wear.

What I remember a bit more clearly is before and after, where we went to eat, seeing my empty dorm room one last time, that sort of stuff. What else did you do on that day? Where did you go? What were you thinking?
