So what time does Commencement actually begin?

[hermionesviolin]

I totally had time to go to church (10am) with my family and even hang out at coffee hour a bit before feeling like we should head back for real brunch. I'm thinking 1pm the exercises started? The official literature (the schedule in the brochure as well as the official website) has Commencement ceremony/exercises at 10am (with "Residence houses close" at 1pm, to boot). Anyone with a better memory than I wanna chime in to assist with my making Sunday brunch date plans?

Edit: They really changed Commencement from 1pm to 10am? Why?! ::smites:: /edit

Speaking of... who's gonna be around that weekend and wanna see me? I'm getting in some time Thursday night and my only solid plans are the Read With Us sessions Friday morning (9am-1pm, including lunch) and the class dinner ('cause it looks like a lot of food for a decent price), plus of course Graduation itself. I could possibly be persuaded to do Ivy Day.

[Edit: Note to self: Remember to go to the art museum (open 10-4). /edit]

I'm also taking suggestions for things to do in Europe (London/Edinburgh/Belfast/Wales, and Prague) this summer.

While I'm abusing the information pool, also taking suggestions for a new blender, can opener, dish set, and thoughts on a new computer (I was gonna cave and get a laptop, but Eric recommends a desktop).

they switched from 1pm to 10am last year, so your memory and the brochure/website are correct.

You should come visit me at Oxford. I'll be there for most of July and half of August.

If you want to do something other then London in England, maybe the lake district or cornwall?

I'll be checking out Ireland and Scotland at the end of May. I'll let you know what I think.

I'm gonna be visiting a friend of mine who lives outside of London the weekend of Sat. Aug. 11. Will you still be there then? We were talking about going to Oxford because I somehow never went to the Eagle & Child while I was there myself. I could do that with you instead or I could see if she'd mind sharing me.

Do lemme know your thoughts on Ireland and Scotland when you have them.

You should get a food processor if someone recommends something decent. I was so stubborn at our wedding about "why did those people give us a food processor when I just wanted a blender?" But after several years of mule headedness (gee, I wonder where Herminone gets it from?) -- it is really multi-functional. And multi-functional is wonderful for people who don't like a lot of crap cluttering up their lives.
