Worked graduation last night. Beforehand a bunch of us went to eat in the new Power and Light District. I've been to the Sprint Center, but never to the P&L district. I was impressed--it was really cool. I'd like to see it before a big concert or event. We ate right by the stage where David Cook sang a couple weeks ago when he was in KC.
We were expecting graduation to be looooonnnnngg--last year it was just shy of 3 hours. This year was barely 2 hours! We were in the car by 9:30, which is quite impressive for a graduating class of 579 seniors, the largest in school history (but only for a year). I've never been so thankful.
Here's my not-so-inspiring words of advice for seniors:
1. Some girls need to practice walking in high heels before they try to walk in front of 5000 spectators.
2. It is never cool to show up to your high school graduation with jeans and dirty work boots. Or tennis shoes.
3. High heels should fit better so your toes don't curl up over the top.
4. Everyone walks out in the processional with a cocky swagger, even if they are the shyest person on the planet.
5. All of those cocky swaggers will quickly be put in their place this fall.
6. If girls wear a halter dress that ties around the neck, it looks really weird with the robe.
7. If you sit on the end of a row, don't take your cell phone out. The security people will take it away. And quickly.
8. Don't pretend to be embarrassed when your family is loud and obnoxious and uses 3 air horns. You knew they were going to do that!
