Boo for having to wait around. What radio show was it?

I'm going to see The Unbelievable Truth recording at the Edinburgh festival next month.

Ooh cool.

It was John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme

I'm in a hotel room by myself :'D
In town with parents for graduation, have to be on campus 8am tomorrow - and we're a 2.5 hr drive away so we thought we should stay the night.

I'm slightly nervous about the whole debacle.
Especially having my photo taken.

Maybe I'll share a robe pic if it's not awful :'D

We didn't have any robes or things for school so I don't really know how they work.
I'm supposed to show up and get a robe on before I collect graduation tickets.

There's a robe pic of me on my Tumblr. Pretend you're at Hogwarts. :P

John Finnemore is cool too, I love Cabin Pressure.

I'm back from graduation etc!

There's some sort of nice pics of me on Facebook but I think my paid-for photo was a bit crap :'D

My paid for photo came in the post yesterday so mother wants to put an announcement in the local paper.

I'm sure yours looks great though.

I blinked in almost all the takes :'D It's a habit of mine.

Ah parents.
My mum was close to the stage but somehow messed up the moment where I shook the chancellor's hand, so then went and bought the congregation DVD.

But I don't think I'll ever watch it. I want it to be a subjective memory.

p.s.
My parents are amazing and I love them, don't want to just moan xD

I'm not sure I could be bothered to watch through hundreds of other people for five seconds of me if I had our DVD.

Lol well I'd skip to me probably.

I'd watch my friends too, maybe...

There's a couple of photos we took ourselves which I might get printed. The posed photos are usually too stiff.

I didn't really get a chance to see many of my friends, everyone seemed busy with family.

Yeah right?

Everyone has family surrounding them, and it's all pretty hectic.
I did get a lovely photo with my housemates, and I'm very glad I got a chance to chat with/hug my amazing dissertation adviser.
My parents also met her. She's Australian - and the best.

I wrote about the work of an American author, Willa Cather (female), and my adviser pronounces it "Cether" or "Cither", however you want to write the phonetics of the Australian accent!!

Oop, sorry, got distracted.

Cool you got to share awesome adviser. Mother just thought mine (male) was "dishy". -_-

I might watch How to Train Your Dragon, it's been 2 years, time for a refresher.

It's quite good for films at the moment - Despicable Me 2, The World's End, Monsters University - solid comedies all out simultaneously.

I kinda want to see Wolverine which is out next week.

I've seen The World's End, probably won't see the others until they're out on DVD/TV.

I really enjoyed it even though it didn't go in the direction I was expecting at all.

And young Gary is totally cute.

Yeah they definitely play with your expectations.

It's a film you want to see again - or see it twice before you can judge it.

I can't wait for the DVD so I can watch it about four times in a row for all the commentary and trivia tracks.

I might go see a foreign film with my mum tomorrow, it's called Wadjda. (A girl's name)
It's the first feature length movie filmed in Saudi Arabia, and the first feature length movie with a female Saudi Arabian director.

But basically it's just a charming, well-acted movie about a girl who wants her dream bike. I've heard it's great.

Man it's hot in my room. I hope we get some thunderstorms this week - I think it's been a couple of years since we even saw one.
