Graduation

Posted on Monday 22 May 2006

I’m all done! But I did get some giggles and strange looks. You would think that people would be used to a person filming a graduation!

    Josh, I wish you could have seen the big grin on my face as I watched this. Congrats.

    Now let’s talk about this great little graduate school program I know about …

    You know, Dr. Leo has a nice ring to it. ;)

    The money shot is definitely you shaking hands and getting your “diploma.” I’m sure I would have put the camera away for that, but you have no fear. Congrats.

    Congrats Josh! Sorry you couldn’t make it to Meet The Vloggers in Chicago event which was on the same day of your graduation… but you did work 4 years for that moment in time, so it’s understandable! Loved the sunglasses too!

    congratulations …
    We donĀ“t have such events here in Germany. You only get your certification … no “party” behind that …

    Congratulations, Joshua D Leo. For some reason, I almost expected the guy announcing your name to just say “JoshLeo” because that’s how we all know you…How silly of me. Anyway- way to be totally fearless.

    Well done, Josh. Too bad you weren’t able to see GW Bush last year. It looked like Nicholas did a nice job, though. I hope that you said HI to Gaylen for us. Congratulations!

    Congrats to you Josh! I wish I had video of my graduation…I don’t even have photos. My stepfather took them to Walgreens and they destoyed the negatives…I have NO photos. I’m not bitter at all. :)

    Congrats man. Ugh, college. Still waiting for mine to be over. Anyway, good luck to you. Also, maybe it’s because I haven’t been watching much lately, but I didn’t know you had a girlfriend. She isn’t in many videos. Camera shy? So is mine. Take care. Cheers.

    Man! You got to have the honor of Vanden Bosch reading your name, and then you got to shake Uncle Joel’s hand! Lucky man, lucky man. . . . Doesn’t Nate’s uncle (aka, the ex-provost) look like a bumble bee in the yellow robe with black stripes?

    oh . . . and another thing . . . does Calvin know that you’re famous? I think we (you, mostly) should write a Spark article about vlogging.

    Most Excellent, Dude! Now off to change the world! I know I may have missed this, but what did you get a degree in? What’s the next step for you now—while you’re waiting for the job of videoblogging icon to pay a little better of course.
