G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.D

They refused to give me flowers so I sulked and got them

The family

The Cash Cow

The Siblings

Yay... I didn't trip, fall flat on my face or break my nose.

My make up didn't smudge either.. Thank you Lancome.. haha

I have finally graduated and received the all important certificate of competence today. *Everybody go 'whooo'!!* The ceremony was just ever so slighty boring, but probably better than most, as we were encouraged to cheer, shout and whistle... So cheer, shout and whistle we did. So much so, we didn't hear the cheers of the audience. Boy, was the concert hall noisy!

Richard's pink socks

It was a good laugh with Richard in his bright pink knee-high socks, very informal and marked the end of an era. When you finally get a frumpy Hogwarts hat waved over your head, that's you graduated. No funny business of kneeling down and reciting verses or even a cardboard on the head with a tassel. The Scots just want to be different.

Hogwart Hatting

Graduation is a time to look back, and reflect, on all that work supposedly put into attaining our degrees *cough cough*. It is also a time to look at how much you have grown, both older and wider wiser.

I was happy to be able to graduate on the same day as two of my flatmates from first year. It was surreal to see each other in our gowns when pigging out in first year seemed like yesterday. Yvonne tried to persuade my dad to leave me in Scotland, and wanted to take me in. Any more offers?? Hehe..

Cat & I - Physio & Pod - Irish & Malaysian

Graduation would also mean all of us will go our seperate ways, do different things in life. While most of my coursemates will stay here in the UK or in Ireland, I do not know where I will end up in the future. And this is a difficult decision in itself. Shall think about this later... After the choc-chip cookie break.

Mobilis Podiatry Prize

Oh, by the way, I received the Mobolis Podiatry Prize for Business Management Plan. I thought I would get a pen. Not just any old pen.. Noooo.. and flashy pen with a laser thingy at the end. My supervisor dispelled my ideas and told me I may get money or vouchers. When I opened my prize, I saw a note:

"Unfortunately we have not received your prize as yet, therefore please accept my deepest apologise and I will forward your prize to you as soon as we receive this.

Your prize will be sent to your home address.

Good luck with your future career."

What an anti-climax. Ashleigh and I are convinced we will get plasters and a zimmer frame respectively from ColoPlast and Mobilis. How do we know? Easy! From the names of the sponsors!

I'm RICH!! =D
