Mom got all artistic on my ass and took jazzy pics throughout the day...
Look at me go in a scholaristic manner....
For the few that might be interested ----> The ceremony was all a bit Unseen University... I liked the absurd pageantry.
First the engineering school baton was paraded down the central aisle of the Universities, Great Hall (all stained glass , marble pilars and a very large church organ, playing baroque, classical and the star wars theme, awesome) followed by a few members of the departments in their velvet robes and floppy hats (special note to the business lecturer P R Atkins (yes thats Prat-Kins) only in bachelor gowns, lol) (you snob - Ed). Then the University baton followed by the Dean, Vice Chancellor and Pro Vice Chancellor and the heads of the school.
Followed by a load of ritual speaches: I found it funny that the Vice Chancellor's involved a lot of, 'for the degree that the said person has done that thing that he may have done very well, over some time for that guy'... Very general and ditached, made me think of Mustrum Ridcully mumbling about universities being great places except for the students, lol....
At the end we all joined a parade with the faculty and heads out of the hall as everyone (AKA guests and parents at the back) cheered, for the final department photo. Great day, silly, but still a really great day
