Graduation
11:59 PM - May 24th, 2005
I’m going to keep this quick because it’s already past midnight (had to hack the timestamp to prevent the NATCAR post from being pushed off). Graduation was long and hot. I got sunburned =(. The College of Engineering at Berkeley is so large. We were all dying before the PhDs were finished walking.
All in all, it was cool—not as cool as NATCAR, but cool. Lots of funny names (Jay “Hey, let’s go paintballing” Lin) and on-stage celebrations. My parents, Lloyd, Alexis, and Bigi were there. Bigi wasn’t wearing his orange shirt.
(I know a lot of you are going to be disappointed, but I’m not going to post any pictures of me with other people)

- Backstage. Moo, where’s my cattle prod?
- Lots of people: 1, 2. Notice how far out the graduate section extends.
- Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google
- My awesome cap design. White paper on top of cardboard for a clean, raised look. (don’t recognize it?)

I can vouch for the heat for I too was sunburnt. But worth it, I guess ;)

Yes, it was a lovely graduation. I left shortly after Schmidt’s speech, while the sunshine was coming down at a non-suburn angle. ;-) And Bigi and Quad’s coming to Tolman Hall afterwards to find me at the ATDP Faculty Orientation was a cool, cool touch. It was great to see you guys.
