If
you do plan to drive to the event, the closest parking lot to

expected because of traffic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

do not count on corralling your graduate right away. There is
an exuberant gathering of kids hugging and kissing. It may take
half an hour or more to find your student.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
