I'm probably going to walk, considering my family will be there. Although at this point, I think everyone just expects me to graduate. My mom and dad said so.
edit: I should mention I graduate in a year so it's kind of far off.
i really didn't think anybody in my family would care if i didn't want to walk, but i told my dad about it and he was like "it's not about you, fucker, it's for everybody else"
and i'm thinking, "really? that's the last thing i would want to go to."
and my sister didn't have to fucking walk! she got hers mailed to her so she could marry some dipshit and have a kid then get divorced a couple of years later! cut me some fucking slack here

If it was a 4 year undergrad at a university I would probably go to the graduation

I'd rather not walk.
I kind of have to scramble with my Critical Thinking work because office hours for my TA and Prof all fall early in the week so they are already moving onto something entirely different by the time I get to start understanding the last thing. I am not getting syllogisms very well, particularly the figures because I have a lot of trouble correctly identifying the premises. Major Premise and Minor Premise what. And while I think I can try to do well in it out of the need for credits I took up some other classes with reputations for being tough, my counselor told me to take them pass/fail because a lot of people don't do well in it. But I want to transfer so pass/fail doesn't help
i managed to do #4 without any help, and in retrospect #1 and #3 are quite easy and i could do similar problems if they show up
#2 is boggling me though
i'm boggled
I'm excited to walk because we get to do it in the football stadium
the whole time I will be imagining myself as a quarterback
maybe I will strike the heisman pose after taking my diploma (okay, I probably won't do that)
Just punt the diploma and watch the crowd go wild.
And then scramble to grab the diploma because you might need that at some point.
And BFL takes the diploma handoff... oh my, he's fumbled it!
And the defense scoops it up!
Looks like BFL will need to spend another 4 years here.

Man, my graduation ceremony was awesome.
I showed up after a hard night of drinking & partying, still drunk, and with only two hours of sleep in me. People could activly tell I was still drunk, but hey it's graduation so literally no one cares. I sat with the film & theater kids and we cracked jokes the whole time. Upon getting my diploma I was greeted by five or six of my professors from different departments all saying way to go.
It was a blast and I would recommend it to anyone who has the chance.
Because you only get one.

What I really don't understand are those rich and powerful people who actually seem to enjoy getting honorary degrees and awards.
I mean, I'm pretty sure some of them actually donate tons of money to schools partially so they can sit outside on a hot summer day and get a worthless honorary doctorate.

After thinking about it some more, this problem is actually not bad at all.
You just need to choose your order of operations carefully.

I am looking up syllogisms on youtube and found a video that helped, along with a demonstration involving a man catching rainbow trout with his hands fresh from a river, except at the end it presents a syllogism about humans and evolution. But then it asks, "But is it true and can science prove it? NO. Through Faith we understand.*BOOM*. GOD." Bahaha.
Finished my IP remedies final tonight. 2 hours to write 4 essays... I didn't even finish the second question. Fortunately, everyone else in the class either 1. Didn't finish or 2. Wrote incomplete answers so that they could finish.
I'm hoping that the professor goes easy on us on account of him being new and not realizing that we could have written for 2 hours on just one of the essays.
Two more finals, one 30 page research paper, and one short paper until graduation... I can do it.
pretty much done memorizing mechanisms, now i'm trying to make sure i know the reaction conditions for all these reactions
ether + acid for every grignard/gilman, THF for the Wittig reaction, cold toluene then acid for DIBAH reduction of esters, dichloromethane for PCC oxidation, acid whenever straight-up oxidizing or reducing something with chromate or sodium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride (and also acetone for some chromate oxidations?), 250 degrees for the claisen rearrangement, water for a bunch of stuff (acidic cleavage of ethers, oxidation of phenols to quinones, hot kmno4 oxidations), carbon tetrachloride for NBS based bromine addition, Pd catalyst for catalytic hydrogenation, KOH for the wolf-kishner reaction, acid AND base AND water for hydrolysis of nitriles
Yesss no vocab on this next logic test, I'm not totally boned after all. Still in trouble if I can't hammer the concept of validity as it relates to arguments into my head though. For some reason it just doesn't stick.
I have a graduation ceremony coming up, but its a pretty pointless ceremony for my AA at my community college. I see no reason to go whatsoever. Gotta save myself for the real deal in a couple of years.

So I know my calculus class is completely inconsequential to the rest of my life at this point because, A) I'm graduating in 6 weeks and I'm retaking Calc 1 in the fall
but seriously, I'm so fucking sick of her bullshit of waiting until the last fucking day to put in any test grades, not being able to see said test grades, and then end up failing one because she doesn't have enough test grades so changes one of my other assignments, one that I failed, to a test grade, thus fucking over my overall grade
this bullshit has been going on forever now and I'm sick of it

I kind of hope I somehow screwed it up and therefore don't have to go through the ceremony.
I just don't feel like going through the ceremony.
I realize that my whole line of thinking here is pretty silly, though.
I don't think I could go even if I wanted to, it says right on the form "you must present your student card upon entry or you won't be admitted"
...I lost my student card over a year ago...
I'm not paying to get a replacement just so I can go to some ceremony I don't even want to go to
edit: I should mention I graduate in a year so it's kind of far off.
and i'm thinking, "really? that's the last thing i would want to go to."
and my sister didn't have to fucking walk! she got hers mailed to her so she could marry some dipshit and have a kid then get divorced a couple of years later! cut me some fucking slack here

I'm scared too, Gary
I'm so scared
look at these problems
so many reagents
so few correct answers

got the professor to let me withdraw from that class
praise the lord

Mind you, you probably won't receive your diploma but rather a stand-in.

Who the hell doesn't enjoy getting an award?
It's pretty awesome.
Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me.
I kind of doubt that my school is giving an honorary degree to a bottled water magnate because of her contributions to humanity.
And I'd hang them upon my office wall as to show my dominance.
