Graduated
One week ago today I graduated with a 2:2 in BA (Hons) Theatre Practice. The ceremony was over in a flash but it was still very memorable and I had enough photos taken. My Mum and Grandmother attended. In almost no time we were then on the road back to Scotland for good with the car packed!
