Swot! The Official Bit

Thought I'd blog this is 2 bits as it was a pretty big day!

On Saturday I finally had my graduation from uni. It was a very exciting and proud day and I'd really been looking forward to it. We headed up to Harrogate for the big ceremony. Once there I got all gowned up in my official robes:

I managed to get 4 tickets which allowed me to take this little lady:

And Rob, who like me looked scarily grown up:

I was also really proud that I got to take my parents:

I was very nervous, especially as I had to sit seperately from my guests for a long time before the ceremony. Luckily the girl sat next to me was lovely and we had a good chat about our degrees before the ceremony began. It was a really good ceremony, all quite relaxed and I got to graduate with Kay Mellor!

So, my big moment came and I walked across the stage to shake the Pro Chancellors hand (though I almost missed him as was too busy smiling at Kay Mellor) and that was it. I looked forward to seeing the pic of that bit but unfortunately I left Rob in charge of the camera. Hey, I suppose I should think myself lucky he actually got me on the pic:

And that was the official bit done. We headed home for the big party. Watch tomorrow's blog post for all the deatils!
