Confused by what?!

OK this might just be me [& please take no offense from this if you feel my quirky sense of humour is, well, just a little bit too quirky for your liking] but attending the grad ceremony yesterday, & it's been something I thought was funny for a while, but it occurred to me how classic we all looked in our gowns & hats. But also just how similar they are to Harry Potter & his crew - of wizards!!! It could of course be my imagination, but you judge for yourself:

All in the name of comedy, or science, or something

OK I've got to add this one - for pure comedy value - I think my grandfather would not be amused - regardless of how funny he looks in my wizards hat!

Me & the old man
Me & the Madd Thoughts, sans silly hat!
Parentals in the same room - a very rare sight

Taking it all a little too seriously?! I think not

Thoughts of a post-grad!!

Well yesterday it finally happened - Brainshare has become a post-graduate!! I picked up my Bachelor of Arts degree certificate for my Youth & Community Works with applied Theology, along with most of the rest of the Class of '08!

It was my first degree so didn't really know what to expect, but it was pretty good - managed to get my old man over from Switzerland [but he missed his flight back & is only now back home!], my mum, brother & grandfather down from Oxford & my dear Madd Thoughts came up from Canterbury. A great day was had by all, with the slight exception of my bro who I'm not sure enjoyed the whole God aspect of the proceedings!!

It was a great day out in London [yes I know I went to Oxford Brookes, but why would that mean graduating in that fair city?!] & it was great to see so many former classmates there.

I'll post up a few pics in a little while, but for now here's the 'money shot' ;o)
