spring/fall thesis parade '09

[cacahuate]

Context for the uninitiated: Every Reed student spends his or her senior year writing a big fancy thesis. Twice a year (i.e., in the spring for regular students and in the fall for those who started their theses in the spring) there's a Thesis Parade, at which the seniors (identifiable by their plastic laurels) dance and scream and make out with everyone and ritually burn copies of their completed theses while the rest of us spray them with champagne. Then they march through the library, across the lawn, and up to the registrar's office to symbolically submit their theses.

Photos from previous Thesis Parades: fall '05, spring '06, fall '06, spring '07, fall '07, spring '08, fall '08, and spring '09.

That's a LOT of wasted champagne. *sniff* You really do a wonderful job capturing a mood with your photography. They each have a story to tell.

Not one drop of that champagne was wasted.

I think the 7th from the top (the one of Niko and Joey) is a pretty perfect summary. Awesome as usual, Molly. It was so nice to see you!

That is definitely one of the more spectacular photos of me in existence. I approve.

Love these! Looks like a real thesis parade. I was spring fall and my parade was pretty well nothing. Very few people there, no colour! Although, to be fair, I got so drunk on cold champagne that I didn't remember mud wrestling at thesis parade until someone showed me photo evidence.

God damn, I miss everybody. So many people I want to hug.

Thanks, Mollycat.
