Graduation Weekend

October 26, 2009

As usual of late I’ve been a bad blogger but my excuse is (partly) I’ve been away for the weekend helping Ms Bennet celebrate her graduation.

It rained all morning but luckily, the sun came out during the ceremony so that afterwards it was glorious for the photos. I didn’t cry – but only because I deliberately put on mascara beforehand so I wouldn’t be able to! It almost worked and by biting my lip, I managed not to disgrace her too much! But inside, I was ready to burst with pride. Ms B has worked so hard for so many years and like most young people, she’s experienced her ups and downs including a bout of glandular fever in her second term and a tragedy involving her tutor, poor man, in her third year.

Then there were all the exams, the revision, the job hunting, more interviews, parties, committees, hustings, balls, stolen bikes etc etc etc

All part of normal student life I suppose.

She’s studying at a another uni now and I miss her terribly – but I’m totally thrilled she’s doing something she’s passionate about. 🙂
