Wow today has finally come and gone! I had been looking forward to this day for ages! You know all those times you see other people graduating and doing the whole photography tour around uni campus...I would look and them and think - geez that'll be me in 6 years time!!! And today was my turn! In some respects it almost feels like an anticlimax but at the same time I really did enjoy the day. It was a day in which I was able to reflect on the last 6 years and yeah I realised that I have come a long way and have really accomplished something to feel proud of. Not that I usually like to go around feeling proud cos one thing I really hate is people who rate themselves heaps, but yeah I felt like today was an exception!
I was so happy to finally get that precious scroll! I was even more happy that I didn't trip over on the stage when I was getting it! "Shake, take, doff and off" I was thinking as I walked up there. You think that after 6 years of uni you'd have no problems doing that and before I knew it, I was sitting down again with my scroll in my hand! After the ceremony we went to the scientia to order a graduation plaque and pick up my gradbook. It was really cool that two friends dropped by - Jules from high school and Wilson from church! Thanks guys - you guys are champs! Then it was time to take a couple more photos before removing the gown and mortar board to become ordinary me once more (I reckon wearing that gown and stuff can give you a big head!) At the end of the day, I have to say that the overriding feeling was one of relief! The day was immortalised in the form of digital photography, the folks were happy, and I guess I can finally say when people ask that I'm a qualified (scary as that may be!) doctor! Residents of Bankstown - watch out! =P
