Graduation

I'm going to be graduating from the University of Tasmania on Saturday the 21st of August this year for my Bachelor of Arts and today I got 3 tickets for my friends Andi, Jessi and Sophie. I'll be getting 3 tickets automatically for my mum, dad and sister when I pick up my gown and hat on the day. It's going to be such a great experience and I'll get a certificate and get to have pictures of me in the hat and gown with my family. James and George are going to meet us after the ceremony for some pictures. Hopefully I'll be able to get people to have some drinks with me afterwards.

I'm going to go and get a frame from Big W soon. When I went there to get a frame for something I printed out for baby Etta I saw this great black one with a gold strip and I want to get 4 of those, 1 for the Bachelor of Arts, and 3 for the museum studies courses I am planning to do at the University of Sydney in 2 years. I'll be doing 3 postgraduate courses -- the graduate certificate, graduate diploma and masters -- and mum and I assume I'll get a certificate for each so I may as well get the same frame now while they're only $10 each. Things might change but I'm hoping I get to do these courses and I would love for the certificates to be in the same frames so I may as well act now. I hope they have more there. I think there weren't enough there when I went by the other day. Fingers crossed.

This is going to be such a memorable experience. I'm excited about it. It's not that far away now. The pictures with family will be great, as well as doing the classic hand shake with the person in power wearing all the gear. I wonder what I'll wear under the gown. I might wear my black stockings with my converse shoes and a skirt underneath. Hmm. I might get my sister to curl my hair too. Might be nice. It's something to think about. It's definitely a nice way to commemorate having finished a degree at Uni.
