Im excited to say that yesterday I officially graduated from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Yup! Thats right, I now officially have a degree! How exciting huh! I had such a lovely day yesterday, I got to have a sleep in, then got myself all glammed up, put on a beautiful dress that my mum made for me, and my official academic robes and head into the city for my graduation parade and ceremony. The weather held up and I got to walk through the main streets of the city (a tradition long standing at Victoria) with all the other graduands of the day. Then, I got to have lunch with some beautiful ladies, have a few drinks, and then attend my graduation ceremony. I was so blessed to have my mum, aunty, grandparents and dear friend Ruth attend the ceremony and then we all went out for dinner afterwards and enjoyed good food, drink and company... it really was such a wonderful day. Okay, enough of the words, im just going to post a bunch of pictures from the day, then it will be just like you were there celebrating with me!
Walking in the Parade.. Its a long standing tradition that all the new graduates walk through the main streets of Wellington. It was rather odd!
