Hey, this is Jill Endres.
I'm going to be making a film of my experiences with commencement.
I'm a senior graduating in '09, and I'm double major in English and psych
and I have a French minor.
These are my experiences throughout graduation day.
Right now it's really hot, but it's supposed to be 50 tomorrow, so that's going to suck.
So, these are my experiences, and it's been a great four years.
All right - getting ready to go
'Ciao!'
Look at it - there's our freshman year dorm!
'aw, Ray!' .....Hi, Ray! Nice to see you, Ray!
Gate three, all right.
'Yo, underneath, man. Underneath.'
Hey, Bill, looking good!
'Well, no, it's good. I can, like, see over everybody's head.'
'You should have, like, taped it on your neck.
'Like a first person account. Or you should have worn a web cam.'
I need a head cam. [laughter]
'One size fits all? Is my head the same size as yours? No!'
'It's like a bird sitting on my head.' [laughter]
I'm, like, laughing right now. You're a mess.
a.k.a it's sunny? 'Yeah.' 'It's not that cold.' 'It's getting better.'
'And there's no snow in Rochester now!' 'Partly it's because we're wearing black.'
'It starts on which side?' 'Thank you.' This is getting ridick.
'How does this thing go on?' Very carefully.
Is the widow's peak in the front? 'One of them.'
'Oh, is the sharp point in the front?' Yeah, the widow's peak.
You look really good, Maggie.
When does this show get on the road? Where is the University grand marshall?
[applause]
I think we're on the wrong side. Oh, there's Joel!
President of the University. There's Joel.
[music]
Oh, there's the procession.
I don't know what any of this means. I just care about that.
'On behalf of University of Rochester faculty, staff, administrators,
Let me congratulate you. This is YOUR day.' Yay!
[chuckle, speeches in the background] I didn't cry about that, but that's so funny.
[cheers]
'I welcome you to the fellowship of learned citizens.'
'Congratulations!' Whooo! [cheering]
[laughter, chatter]
[music]
