Well, the formalities are over! Neither Laws nor Lyd could make it in the end, but Dad, Ann, Nan, Pa, Craig and Ben were all there to see the ceremony on Friday at Flemmington Racecourse. The sun came out this afternoon which made for a wonderful day.
Dad and Ann gave me a gorgeous string of pearls that they'd picked up on their recent Island cruise. The DVD of the ceremony is another month away but the photos are on the way, will add them here soon. Of the 30 or 40 of us that started a group of only a dozen graduated today which was nice, a small group that have finished together. 8 of us had a group photo taken, so looking forward to getting a copy of that sometime over the next couple of weeks. The Mortar Board was heavy and by the end of the ceremony the gown was hot!!! Can't believe that it's all over already, but was a great day. Ben and I then went out for drinks in the city with Julia, who has just got back from the States, Hayley (who we studied with but didn't graduate today), and Jacob, who was already very drunk when we found him!

Hey Mel it was a lovely day and we are very proud of you and you deserve your degree after all the trials and tribulations it took to get you there. Was great to have lunch with you and Ben on Saturday. Hope the last shift went well.
Ann xo
Well done Mel
Glad you finally made it !!!
