Brief post today - just to say I'm graduating tomorrow!
A ceremony in the Sheldonian (pictured) where we will have someone speak at us in Latin, bestowing upon us the Power of Lecturing, amongst other things. After that I will be able to wear my mortar board (cap) as much as I like - up until this date it came with a £35 fine. But had to be carried to exams.
All rather silly, but also rather special. I'll let you know how it went...
Well I'd say that's rather special! Congratulations and have a lovely day. I remember the day of my college graduation very, very fondly.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I've been to an Oxford graduation ceremony as a proud parent: it's totally OTT and I'm sure you and your guests will love it.
ReplyDeleteSo you graduate from carrying to wearing ... isn't that a glorious tradition?
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy day.
Many congratulations, if i were your Mother, a large wad of Kleenex would have to be on hand. It's a great acheivement. C.B.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading this after the event but hope you had a wonderful time. I went to the Sheldonian when Mr. C. was being 'doctored' - he made three entrances, each time in a different gown - talk about Shirley Bassey!!
ReplyDeleteThe Mother managed without the kleenex but glowed with delight and pride! OVW
