Graduation - Master of Arts

Me, myself and I... Unfortunately I was here in Germany when the big graduation ceremony at BU was held, back in May. Nevertheless, I thought I should have some sort of symbolic picture-taking-session and so I borrowed a gown from the English Department at Freiburg University and these are the results... (thanks to Juli, my landlady's daughter, who kindly took on the role of the star photographer :-)









*big smile*













These pics are taken in Frau Knudsen's garden in the back of the house. And you probably can't see it but it's crazy hot today. Sweating for the family photo album ...















That's what they do in the movies, right? I have no idea if people really ever throw their hats around... Anyway - it's fun!











...so... what's next?
Finish my degree here in Freiburg (English in the summer and German in spring 2010) and then get married :-D

Whatever comes along after that - I'm excited!!!

    Congratulations Graduate! Yes, today graduates in many college and high schools in America do toss their hats at the end of graduation ceremonies. This tradition started at the U S Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland in 1912 which was the year midshipmen would be from then on wearing officer hats, thus no longer need their midshipmen hats.
