Receipt

Oh what an exciting week this will be! I'll start with getting my gown and cap for my convocation! Us PhDs get the special robe with blue stripes on the arms. Fancier than the undergrad ones, but smells just as funny and has similar mystery stains I bet. Unfortuneately, I only get to keep the cap, which was extremely plain. Not even the tassle had color!

I wasn't expecting it, but I also got my actual parchment at the same time! And it was even more dissappointing than the cap. Small, no colors, not even olden days fonts. C'mon!

So I had to compensate by getting the expensive shiney frame.

All that only took an hour in line!

Then came the doctoral reception at night. It was okay. Neat finger foods though. Too bad I didn't know anyone, so I ducked out early.
