Kevin graduated from UTK (the University of Tennessee at Knoxville) yesterday!! He was excited. We had to leave our house at 5:30 in order to get there on time, which meant we were all waking up sometime before 5 so that we could shower and eat some breakfast. We had a to hour drive ahead of us, and we knew graduation would last at least to hours. It lasted 3. So, we went about 7 hours with no food. Plus, the only food we'd had was cereal (you don't really feel like making anything else at 4:45 A.M.). Anyway, the actual graduation was 3 hours long, but we got there an hour and a half early so that we could actually get seats. Then we had to wait another hour before we actually got to the resteraunt and got our food. Al Gore gave the commencement speech. It was interesting. He talks in a very convincing way...like some other politicians we know. No wonder he became VP and co-won a Nobel Peace Prize. After his 30 minute speech, every single graduate had to have their name read out and then walk the stage. There were over 1,000 graduates. It took a LONG time. But afterwards we got to eat some delicious food and then we caravaned home...and took naps. After dragging ourselves out of bed, we just kinda hung out the rest of the night. We did puzzles and drank lots of cold water (did I mention we had to eat outside...in the 90 heat). It was exciting, to say the least.
