Graduation

Graduation was pretty cool. I was glad that they let the PhD students have a practice! It's a bit like being knighted - you kneel, receive the hood, shake hands (right hand) and then receive the degree (left hand). I was repeating to myself "kneel, hat, hood, hat, shake, take" but that wouldn't have been enough for some people! A few people forgot to put their hats back on and some forgot to stand up before shaking hands with the chancellor.

Me kneeling and doffing my hat.

My Da got me a great graduation present (I saw it just as we were going to return the gown). It's a T-shirt that says "I went to ANU and all I got was an internationally recognised tertiary qualification and this lousy t-shirt"!

Ok, this is my first post with photos and it's taken forever. Is there any way to make the pics appear somewhere other than right at the top? Or is it best just to put in all the photos and then add writing later?
