Graduation!

Donezo! Yesterday was the Northeastern commencement, held at The Garden (Celtics/Bruins arena). There were rumblings of a 4 hour ceremony, but it was actually a much more manageable 2 1/2. Highlights of the ceremony were a plethora of beach balls (including one that President Aoun threw into the crowd himself), Professor George Adams smashing a beach ball out of the air with his baton, floating inflated condoms, and American Express's CEO as the guest speaker.

After the ceremony, the both of our families along with our Matt's and Alex's familes and Joyce (our friends) went to a massive lunch at Joe Tecce's, an Italian restaraunt across the street. The food was good, but saying the service was bad would be quite an understatement. This girl was dumb as rocks and I don't think she'd ever waited a table in her life. Note to restaraunt managers: don't put a new server on a party of 30. K?

We split ways after lunch and some of us went to Mike's Pastries for gelato and others went home or elsewhere. Later that night, we celebrated at the classy establishment of Conor Larkin's, a popular NU bar, followed by a quick stop at Punter's Pub on the way home.

Tomorrow we'll be celebrating even more with a Pig Roast, and then we're hitting the road on Wednesday or Thursday for Toronto!
