Commencement?

[ceridwen_amyed]

Graduation is a strange and pompous affair, but if you add to the mix a venue like Canterbury Cathedral, well... you have a lot of graduands feeling like they're in Hogwarts. Especially as in an early ceremony (mine took place at 7.15pm) Michael Gambon aka Dumbledore received an honorary degree! The honorary graduate at my ceremony was Professor

Eee! Gambon! I adore that man! Although he does make an impressive Dumbledore, I prefer his contributions to Top Gear (Gambon corner) and the fact that he's renowned for telling gigantic lies throughout interviews. Anyway, sweetheart, I'm glad that you had an enjoyable graduation! I remember feeling like a Hogwarts student whilst I was wearing my dress robes graduation gown. I didn't have the setting of Canterbury Cathedral to add to that sensation, however!

Let me know if you're coming to Manchester! :D

I haven't seen Gambon on Top Gear! He just sounds like a top bloke. ;)

I do not miss my graduation gown, ugh. Or that hat! ;)

Will do! :)

Jeremy Clarkson named a corner of the Top Gear racetrack after Michael because he almost flipped his car over whilst driving around it. Whenever anybody is driving past that particular corner, Jeremy always shouts "Gambon!"
