I graduate from my H.S. the day of WWDC

King Cobra · Jun 22, 2003, 11:19 AM

I'm not as disappointed as I was a week ago, since I know that there will be no live broadcast. But I still wanted to be at Apple's website tomorrow and refresh my browser every minute to see if the new G5s are put up on the front page.

I graduate from Pascack Hills

I'm still nervous about graduation. Even though it's a graduating class of 144 students it's still a large public. Our parking lot is the worst ever, so getting off Pascack Hills grounds will be hell.

In the end, however, it will probably be one of my most memorable events at Pascack Hills.

Apple, leave me a nice graduation present on your website tomorrow.

sparkleytone · Jun 22, 2003, 11:31 AM

why don't you skip it and just go to the apple store and watch the keynote? a grad present to yourself.

King Cobra · Jun 22, 2003, 12:24 PM

I'm not going to skip graduation. It's too important to my friends and family.

Plus, I have graduation practice tomorrow morning. If I skip that, I will not be allowed to "walk" on graduation.

iJon · Jun 22, 2003, 12:27 PM

damn, we graduated like a month ago at our high schoo. good luck, it should be fun.

jefhatfield · Jun 22, 2003, 01:01 PM

congrats, son

the day you graduate will be the day that apple finally makes a real move to catch up with the fast pc world

in your life or any other, how many days can match this one? first, you are finishing up 12 years of school and possibly seeing a lot of your friends in one place for the last time ever...and i can't think of any day in my life where two major events happened...and for any mac user, this G5 day should be seen as one of the most important days of apple inc since steve jobs came back

the best thing to make it all complete would be for you to get the G5 as a surprise gift...maybe you real parents will spring that on you

Kwyjibo · Jun 22, 2003, 01:08 PM

hmmmm we graduated on jun 6 your graduation is a bit late.

Congrats, KC.

Wow, a frown from jefhatfield is a rare thing...your powers of annoyance are getting stronger, young one...

tpjunkie · Jun 22, 2003, 02:32 PM

Man it is so true...my group of friends included four girls...we all lived in the same dorm, and there was definitely a hell week where it was better to either avoid all of them or just not talk to them

My local H.S had its graduation last thursday. I'm not sure how big the graduating class was, but we had to have it at Occidental College's Ampitheatre to hold everyone.

To K.C.: Congratulations. Walking is probably worth getting the news just a little bit late, if only for your friends/family 's enjoyment.

wdlove · Jun 22, 2003, 04:17 PM

I'm just a little confused King Cobra. According to your schools website your graduation is at 6pm. That means that your have the day free? My thought also was, do you have some pre-graduation meetings that are required? Maybe family committments? If family, it seems they would understand! Hey, it would only be for a few hours! Anyway, congratulations King Cobra on a very memborable day in a youg person's life.

King Cobra · Jun 22, 2003, 04:19 PM

ibookin, great pic. I needed the comic relief.

wdlove, read my second post in this thread. I have graduation practice in the morning.

wdlove · Jun 22, 2003, 04:25 PM

But that would still leave your afternoon free? The WWDC will be at 1pm EDT!

King Cobra · Jun 22, 2003, 05:18 PM

1PM. Interesting.

Well, practice ends at no later than 12PM. So I should be home by then.

I doubt I'll go to an Apple Store to watch the keynote live, though. There will simply be too much activity tomorrow.

But I know I'll find time online tomorrow.

jelloshotsrule · Jun 22, 2003, 05:27 PM

so this entire thread for naught. nice!

Haha.

I doubt it is for nothing, I mean we can say happy graduation to the King.

Happy graduation, even if we don't always see eye to eye.
