LSU Graduation Crashing

I went to LSU's graduation ceremony today. Both of them. You might ask, both of them? And then you realize that its me you're talking to. My fabulous roomie is graduating so of course I cut work to watch her walk across the stage. I bring a friend of mine with me because I'm a big chicken and I don't know LSU very well. She goes to LSU, so I figure we're safe from any odd weirdness. O no, my friend...

We go to the PMAC, where one of the ceremonies is being held. We're in the right spot, sitting to where we can do tons of people watching. And of course, we're early so we are chatting and giggling because that's just what we do. We're talking about our last names and she says I would be in the back because of M and I said, legally, I'd be a C.

So the ceremony starts. It's all pomp and circumstance until one of the brightly colored attired PhDs knocks over the College of Education flag. And we both bust out laughing because earlier I'd said that people take themselves way too seriously...

Fast forward to the ceremony, and the Cs go by. My roomie is nowhere to be found. And her last name definitely starts with C. We get up and run to the other location of the 2nd graduation ceremony just in time to see one of the girls in our cg graduate.

We scream and yell for her, then go back to my car and leave a voicemail for my roomie telling her that I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box and I've missed her graduation. But I'll definitely be there with bells on for her graduation party.

LSU and I do not play well together.
