I graduated today!



Yup. After 3.5 years of  reading inclusive education articles in the bathroom, aeroplanes, hairdressing salons, in school staffrooms, in bed at night, lying in a fetal position on the floor surrounded by scrunched up tissues and occasionally at my dining room table - I was finally awarded my Masters of Education ( Inclusive Education ) today!


Hurrah. 


I'm not going to bore you with the details of the ceremony. If you've been to one graduation you've been to them all and sadly unless someone gets the urge to fulfill a nudie dare it's just a lot of polite clapping and looking at watches. 


So what shoes did I wear ? 


Two pairs of shoes actually. 


Keeping the tradition alive of wearing blue shoes to graduation ceremonies I wore my gorgeous Blue Peeptoes for most of the before photos. And since my hood was red and green I wore my Little Reds ( Steve Maddens ) for the walking across the stage part. There are photos of both. I expect you're not in the least bit surprised. ;)


Overall it was a great day - I got to hang out and roadtrip a bit with my Dad and actually take a moment to be proud of the fact I've finished a Masters degree with reasonable results despite the fact I was suffering with undiagnosed migraines pretty much the whole time. 


And now I'm so tired I can barely see straight - so it's time for sleep. 


Goodnight sweet shoe dreams all.

  5. Can't believe I missed this!!! Well, now I shall offer a month-late/belated CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

    And TWO pairs of heels! I admit, I am sooooo uncreative in the shoe department... particularly heels. I probably would've worn something black... like I always do :-)

  6. @Mary - Thanks *blush*

    @Ms Blasé - Thank you. :) And yep, two pairs. I really wanted to wear blue as I wore blue ones for my Undergrad degree but knew that walking across the stage with that that height would cause undue stress. So enter Little Reds ;)
