The universality of graduation ceremonies

Like every other graduation ceremony I've attended (which is now 6, as I had to go to my high school's graduation every year as a part of the school band), today's ceremony went a bit too long and required me to do far too much of nothing (namely, arriving an hour early - at 7:45 in the morning - and standing in place for that amount of time). The speeches by the bigwigs were subpar; it was the student speaker and the professors honored for excellence that were the highlights of the show.

Oh, and I would've thought that families would have grown up beyond using airhorns during the roll call after high school. I guess I was wrong.
