Degree Ceremony Heat

The start of five days of degree ceremony fun today. This means that I've been doing 10 minutes of stand up in front of around 500 graduands and their families in City Hall. I quite like doing it, but it is a bit stressful. The best ceremony is on Wednesday, when I get to do the warm up for the students from my faculty. Fortunately the weather is being kind today, but it still got pretty hot in the suit and gown when the sun came out in the afternoon.

I also did something today which was pretty foolish (even for me). I'll tell you about it tomorrow.

Nice talk at the start of the ceremony. (happened to be my sisters graduation) I always thought you made those....'jokes' in lecutres....obviously not! I'm also quite convinced that hardly anyone got the poor computer-related joke... "IF I am standing AND the graduates are seated THEN stand and clap" or whatever it was! ;)
