G is for "Graduation Day with a Graduate Degree"

Well, it was not today, but I wanted to post about my graduation day and graduate degrees.   November 4th 2006 was a very proud day for me (and for my family).  This was the day that my Doctorate degree in Economics was conferred upon me :)  After six long years of study, my comprehensive exams sucessfully under my belt and my thesis successfully defended I earned my PhD in Economics.  Here are a few pictures of that day:
Here is a half decent picture of the hood - quite fancy!!

    Thanks :) Since I work as a professor and attend graduation ceremonies as a faculty member now I have bought my own regalia and get to wear it every year :)

    I loved wearing the robes for my BSc, but the PhD ones were so much cooler ;)

    What an achievement. When I tried economics at a very basic level I found it really difficult. I'm fascinated by the way knitting brings together people from all walks of life and how different we all are.

    You have every bit to be proud of! I hope lots of people refer to you as doctor, it was well earned! :D (Economics did not treat me well in high school, though I ended up in an AP class without the prerequisite Mathematics course. . . To this day I've no idea how I got a C.)

    And if I may say, very spiffy robe!! :)
