It’s spring (commencement) again…

First of all, let me congratulate Chelsea for taking the Premier League title. No, I’m still a Liverpool fan; I just want to congratulate the deserving champions here :)

So it’s been a while since I last updated my blog. Nothing much had happened in between, just the usual routine. And boy time really does fly when you are doing routines. When someone asked about my age recently, I had to think a while before I said I’m 25. It sounds so…old, and for a second there I found it hard to believe that I was 25 already. I bet other people would feel the same too after reading my previous post.

Ok end of rambling and beginning of usual posting. So I attended the University of Michigan spring commencement, again. It still took place in the Big House, and Mary Sue Coleman still ended her speech in the same words, but one thing is special this time – President Obama was the speaker!!! And boy he was such a mega celebrity. The audience was visibly larger, and when he entered the venue, everybody cheered and applauded like they were attending a rock concert. Truly amazing star power.

His speech started ok, with some funny bits, but soon getting too long and political IMO. Once he ended his speech, people started  leaving the stadium as if Michigan is 3-33 down in a football game at half time. I resisted my urge to do the same I stuck around until the end of the ceremony before leaving for lunch.

I am not sure if I will be attending spring commencement again next year, but for now, let me say this: congrats class 2010!!!
