The Real Speech
OK, well, the previous post wasn’t the speech I gave on Sunday. Neither was Miles’s post.
If you go here, you can watch a video of the ceremony (I think you need Windows Media Player to view). Fast forward to 49:14 (it might need to load for a second or two) and it’s about the time where I’m being introduced. My speech is like 4 minutes long, so don’t worry about wasting your time. Unless you absolutely could care less. In that case, why are you reading my blog in the first place? Everything went well, no big flub ups, and I even got a sweet picture out of the deal! Not many people would have a shot similar to this one. I enjoy seeing my professors giving cheesy smiles (well, most of them anyway…) but wish I could have gotten the whole front row. I know at least one reader was cut out of the picture. Otherwise, Miles, Paula, and my dad taped it. It might be easier to wait to watch one of those (I’m sure Miles’s will end up online) for all you who don’t want to go through the work of clicking on the link.
Thanks to everyone who came: Miles, Mom, Dad, Marissa, Val, Paula, Grandma and Grandpa. And everyone who said they were going to, but backed out: Tony.

That is a pretty sweet picture. Look at all those smiling faces, and one scowling one.

Ooooo, Ouch.

wow…your resume in the introduction kicked that other girl’s! Also, i realized half-way through your speech that the media player was playing in hyper mode – about twice as fast as normal. Yes, it took me half-way. I just thought you were REALLY nervous!

You certainly looked much less nervous than I was. Great job, welcome to the club.

Bryce, you just had to casually mention you gave a speech, quit living in the past! :)

You’re still the only friend I have that gave the graduation speech. I’m proud of you!
