Last week, the only thing I was really excited for during graduation week was the Tucano's luncheon that I've planned for my family. Emotional eater much?
But today, I woke up and thought: I'm so excited about graduating!
Well actually, the exact thought was whether we would get to do this:
Throw our caps.
Back in high school, when I was on the student council, I suggested that we should get cap and gown for our graduation. Ultimately it was shot down because the idea was too American (I went to a British school).
I've seen this done in movies so many times. But I've always wondered if it's real. Do people in America really just throw their caps in the air at the same time? Or do people just walk around under a cloud of thrown-up caps all day long? How do they really achieve that kind of hang time? How do you find your cap afterward? Should I put a sticker on mine so I can get it back?
Maybe it's just an urban myth. Evidence: Chelsea's cap didn't leave her head once during her graduation.

(update) I just remembered this:
I still haven't ordered my cap and gown.
Epic fail.

It has been done! About half of the people at my high school did it at the end of the ceremony, while the rest of them kept them snuggly on their heads. If you throw yours you usually just grab the first grab the first one you see on the floor as a replacement.
