<p>Ok, I want to hear these speakers - can I pretend to be a 2006 graduate?</p>

<p>I didn't go to graduation, but I would have considered it if the speaker was Desmond Tutu instead of Timmy S.</p>

<p>AHH! Just to add to the perceived ridiculousness of my deferral:</p>

<p>My optional essay was an article i wrote for my church diocesan newspaper, The Jamestown Cross, which is based in Williamsburg at Bruton Parish, about how American Episcopalians should take a page from Archbishop Tutu's book.</p>

<p>Can anything else happen that would make it more ridiculous that I got deferred? Yikes...</p>
