Had the great pleasure of seeing several of my former students graduate from Pierce last night, moving on to CSUN or UCLA.
As I usually do, I rented Time Lord Robes (cap and gown) and sat with the other NPCs to do honor to the kids who've made it through Level 1. (NPCs because we give them quests and tell them lore, and they run off and do stuff and then run back and turn it in.)
The college is using a new cap-n-gown rental place which insisted on us telling them our college colors (in my case, UC blue and gold) because, evidently, they didn't have the capacity to look them up, and then sent us colors totally at random (in my case, white and red).
Another day of grading exams. I really wish my new printer would show up on the doorstep.
Along with it, as a present to myself for when I finish grading, I also ordered a copy of the BBC version of The Tempest, with Michael Hordern as Prospero, a version which I very much prefer to the recent Julie Taymor film. (PLEASE stick with the script, Julie...) This summer I'll probably do what I did last summer, and go through the Shakespeare Collection again - I sort of cheated and already watched Midsummer Night's Dream, sort of like eating dessert first. (The one I come back to is the old Peter Hall version from 1968, with Diana Rigg and Helen Mirren as the two girls and Judi Dench running around the woods in green body-paint and a big smile).
