But, graduation was held at Texas Stadium and they sold beer and concessions because it took forever to read all 1600 names, so I'm not sure I actually missed out on much.

The appropriateness of Perpetua would probably depend on the tone of the writing. When I used it, I (half playfully) thought the extra space made the words sort of resonate.

You missed out on beer and concessions.
It sounds so reasonable when you say it.

You missed out on beer and concessions. I didn't. My parents did. The poor hot graduates on the field got nothing.
If you haven't completed / passed your courses, you haven't graduated. Being in a graduation ceremony without having graduated is weird by all means in my eyes.
Quote from: Mr. Cookie on May 26, 2007, 03:18:38 PMWell, no, nobody actually graduated here either, but the ceremony being in the context of graduation was kinda obvious. I expect it is over there too. If not, what are you celebrating? I thought it was just a show for the parents.

That's cool how you referenced a case.
I'm so far from the end of my tether right now that I reckon I could knit myself some socks with the slack.
