I've fledged!

Yes, it has finally happened!

I thought I'd be walking around like a penguin but my blue and red gown was surprisingly bright - so much so that someone on fb wondered why I was in costume HAHAHA.

When I reached the Vice-Chancellor, as the title of my thesis was read out, the VC said:
"that must have been hard"
"oh it was quite enjoyable"
"how long did it take?"
"6 years"
"oooo........."

LOL

Graduation collage

The bubblies at the lab, lunch and ceremony all went smoothly (and the ceremony a lot faster than I expected); afterwards Richard and I got behind a bush to show people what it is that ecologists do ;)


It was like a dream, and now I feel nothing but relief :)

2 bons mots:

Two in the bush is worth a bird in the hand? Or something something something...

Congrats!! Finally!

hahaha thanks! a bird in the hand is definitely better than 2 nutters in the bush!
