<p>As expected, I got bored watching the film. My daughter watched – from Russia! – and tried to convince me to watch so I could see her best friend graduate. I notice that they called the graduates in the order of their majors, in alphabetical order. Lucky for Mythmom! (I think her daughter majored in American Studies). But I didn’t have the patience to watch the whole procession – I told my d. that I would look at her friend’s picture on facebook instead. :)</p>
<p>I’m sure I would have a little bit more patience when my own daughter is graduating next year… but not much. I used to sneak into her dance recitals just about the time when I thought her class would dance and then sneak right out again, and if she was in dance productions that had multiple performances of the same show – well, I’d attend once or twice but I managed to skip a lot of performances too.</p>
