So I finally graduated! Better late than never. And I wasn't the only one who missed last year's cut off date. I have to say I wasn't looking forward to the ceremony that much but it was definitely worth doing.
Funnily enough this year's honourary graduand was journalist Sam Lipski who is the chief executive of The Pratt Foundation (and yes, Richard Pratt was in the audience).
The chancellor read Lispki's resume at the end of the ceremony. It went for about 15 minutes I kid you not. I was totally in awe of his achievements. If my resume was a fifth as long in 50 years time I would be very happy. I would be even more overjoyed if it included some of Lipski's appointments... a Washington correspondent for the Australian, a columnist for The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald. Oh how I dream.
My parents spent about $150 on professional photos so I hope some turn out better than the cheesy pic above.
