Commencement

After 5 years at MIT, I am now officially an alum of the institute.
Things I liked about commencement:

• The traditional feel of the procession and ceremony
• Taking pictures
• Entering Killian Court and being mobbed by a tunnel of paparazzi, aka rabid parents
• Being amused by the length of my robe, while most other gown came down to mid-calf level or below, mine was about knee-length
• As I walked from my apartment to campus many people congratulated me, even the homeless people were excited
• Celebrating with friends and family
• Getting my diploma!
