The ceremony was not a treat, though I did get to replace my usual teacher-like behavior with something more enjoyable. While they recited Ruhnama quotes and acted out scenes from the book, the auditorium was a buzz of talking, pictures, people getting up and walking around, and the occasional confused lady walking around looking for her son. I would usually be shushing, shunning, accusing, and disciplining everyone who made a peep (my job is 24/7 here, make no mistake), I sat in silence. I occasionally myself talked a bit to my neighbor and even walked over to chat with our own graduate. I could contain my inertia to discipline by considering the apathy towards these 'readings', by considering them purposeful. Sure, they weren't, but I felt great thinking of how our mass anti-something movement was going out here. Three cheers for uncivilization!
