I think I'll choose my own commencement speaker -- J.K. Rowling


I finish tomorrow. As happens with me, excitement is making it hard to sleep. I found this commencement speech by J.K. Rowling, and I've adopted it as my own. She's smart, patient, and humble and I thought I'd share her speech with ya'll. No dis to whomever is going to speak at the little Biology-only PSU commencement, I'm sure they'll be dandy.

See you on the other side,

Bp

I KNEW they'd take that one, it was too good.

Too bad it involves employers, I'd love to paste it all over the blog.

Hm, I may anyway MUhahahah

Still, well done.

Thanks ya'll, kind of you.

I was going to blow off this graduation as a trivial thing, but it's feeling kind of big today -- real big actually. "First day of the rest of your life" kinda stuff.

So, yeah.

And I'm hella tired too, that affects things.

Thanks again,

Bp
