Well, I have now officially graduated from Trinity Western with a Bachelor of Arts. Wearing a gown is actually quite comfortable - I don't think it would've been all that terrible wearing them all the time like the academics of the middle ages did. The hood is annoying, though, as it kept slipping off. Besides, the shape of the hood is so weird that you couldn't really wear it as a hood anyhow! As for the cap, well, it looked cool when everyone was wearing them but I prefer to go without it and it did get itchy after a while.
So, besides the unusual regalia, we had a nice, although somewhat long, ceremony. My family came out to cheer me on and take lots of photos. The place was milling with smiling people, friends in dark robes, and professors a large variety of robes. Introduced some friends and profs to my family, ate rich chocolate squares, took more photos, and drank punch from a punch fountain...

Then it was back to Fort Langley to pick up the rest of my things and now I'm in Vancouver for one night before I head up north to my practicum. Apparently, learning doesn't end with graduation...
