Class of 2010

It was my graduation yesterday and I had such a good day! It was super stressful to begin with because we were really late which is nothing unusal for my family and I forgot to bring all of the e mail confirmations for the gown, tickets, photos everything... then I was running through Liverpool Central station and managed to fall on my face and scrape all the fake tan off one side of my leg at the same time. Fortunately I had some foundation and bronzer to hand so was able to touch it up in the taxi.

The ceremony lasted for nearly two hours and thankfully I managed not to fall over or lose my hat on stage so it was all good. Definately worth all the sleepless nights, hard work and 4am starts before exams to get here.

I always wanted to wear a Viv Westwood suit for my graduation but thought near the end that I was going to fail completely so didn't bother saving up. I ended up finding this dress at the last minute on Monday and actually preferred this to the suit because it was boiling in the cathedral!
