Happy PhDiversary To Me!
As detailed in a previous posting, Nov 16 marks the anniversary of the day I received my PhD, according to my transcript. The convocation ceremony for my PhD was Nov 22, 2006 and my current theory ((Translation: I’m too lazy to actually investigate this.)) is that Nov 16 marks the day that Senate voted to approve candidates for convocation – but I based that entirely on speculation.
At any rate, I am commemorating this, my 7th PhDiversary, in the traditional fashion, by posting this picture of a Tumbeast in a puffy PhD hat:
And speaking of the puffy hat, it will soon be making its reappearance in my life as I have a grad photo session booked for Nov 25 ((I’m actually dreading this a bit, as I don’t really want to see how much older and fatter I’m going to look in these photos compared to the ones that were taken in the same robe and hat 7 years ago!)) and, as detailed in a previous posting, I will be yet again donning the pink robe and puffy hat of a UBC PhDer for that photo, as well as for the convocation ceremony next spring. Long live the puffy hat!
