Fall rites

Today I had to wake up early for an office appointment at an uncivilized time of 7:30 in the morning. What did I see? A bunch of "rushers" these new female college students seeking to be a member of some sorority. I didn't know they set "rush" activities this early. It was a good sight anyway to compensate for waking up after 3 hours of wink time. Then after my appointment I thought I ran into a Harry Potter convention, I forgot that today was the academic convocation that's why a lot of old people were running around in black robes. I think PhD students should be given a wand with the hood when they graduate.
