Commencement 2008

Sunday was graduation day at my institution. It rained and rained and we (students, parents, and faculty) sat throughout the ceremony: some of us shrank a little bit, just enough to make our clothes a little bit looser. The 08 graduates are moving into a complicated world (but, then again, who has not): a war with no end in sight; gas prices rising; food prices also rising; and a dollar weak and weaker. It is a world full of possibilities (like the world we moved in when we graduated, of course): the first African American president; social networkings are beginning to dominate the Internet (and they have embraced them); and the media is becoming medias and networks. I do not know where this generation is going but I am guessing is taking our world into very interesting places. Good luck, Class of 08.
