I missed my chance to walk...

No, based on the title of this blog, I am not a quadrapelegic that couldn't get stem cell treatment in the USA, thereby not being able to walk...but I did forget to order my cap and gown and did not get to walk in the convocation exercises today. I dropped by the Marriot Center and saw two other Psychology Ph.D. students that were walking, but I didn't get to join them. I kind of felt bad for being a slacker and not ordering my cap and gown because I went through 6 1/2 years of hell to get that degree...and the most exciting thing that happened related to getting the degree was receiving it in the mail... :) (To be fair, when I graduated my parents sent some money, my grandmother sent some money, and I think my wife took me out to dinner...but it seems like something like graduating with a PhD should end in some type of pomp and ceremony).
