My Graduation
Last week would be one of the last times I'd ever be back at Uni and it was for my graduation. After a strenuous 4 and a half years of study, it was time to claim my prize and take home that precious piece of paper that would certify me as a bachelor.
Ceremony was an early 10am start meaning to register and collect my gown, I'd have to be at uni before 9am, something I hadn't done in a long time. Certainly don't miss the terrible traffic driving up.
Waiting for my gown
Once inside, I was already feeling hungry and the graduation ceremony was to be a big one, the entire auditorium was full and the number of people graduating overfilled the front rows into a section of the audience. There's a sense of nervous-ness as you stand there waiting for your name to be called out for you to collect your testamur, as for me, I was a little unique in getting a Bachelor of Information Systems (as opposed to a Bachelor of Science I would initially sought out to achieve. Quite lucky to have graduated with a couple of people I knew, I had feared it was to be a lonely graduation as I was a bit of a lagger. Congrats also to Winnie Tran, Suching Wong and Sumeet Kukar.
Collecting the testamur
After the ceremony, it was the obligatory rounds of photos across the various landmarks of the university. First is one with the family.

Then the library lawn (with the UNSW library in the background)

Then the lookout above the quad, as well as the obligatory flying cape photo.
I can fly!
And at last, the main walkway, or in this case, being on top of the globe!
On top of the world!
To top it off, you've gotta have some drinks to end the day, and this would be my chance to check out this white house place they built while I was no longer at uni during the day time.
