Graduation
$2 Water Edition

So listen...after parents have paid us untold thousands of dollars for at least four years...doesn't it seem a little uncool to have little tents around campus selling bottles of water for TWO FREAKIN' BUCKS EACH? I mean...two dollar water? What are we, 7-11? The university couldn't go down to Costco, buy some bottled water, and sell it at cost?

I was walking along on the way back to the department after the ceremony and ran into the dean. (First he looks me up and down and, keenly noticing my distinct lack of regalia and untucked shirt, says "way to dress for the occasion, Smith...") I start ribbing him about the water, and he says "yeah, I wanted them to just sell drinks out of the groundskeeping hoses for one dollar..."

You know, I don't believe he was taking my concern seriously...
