I'm Guessing that's Quite Interesting.

<p> This year, I completed my Undergraduate studies, graduating with a first degree in Artificial intelligence and computer science from the University of Edinburgh.</p>

<p> Unfortunately, due to refurbishment I didn't get to graduate in McEwan hall. The only time I've been able to appreciate McEwan was during my second year Probability exam. It was not a good time to stare at the ceiling's artwork. https://minecraft-server-list.xyz/ </p>

<p> We used Usher Hall as a substitute, which is where the majority of chamber music and symphony events are held.</p>

<p></p>

<p> We were grouped with the school for Engineering due to the small size of the informatics class. As a result, we were awarded two honorary degrees speeches. I'm not sure what the engineering guy did. The Computer Science speaker got the deal to develop minecraft for the Xbox.</p>

<p> I guess that's vaguely interesting.</p>

<p></p>

<p> One of the quirks of the University of Edinburgh is that we don't wear mortarboard cap. Instead, all graduates wear the same hat. The vice-chancellor taps each graduate on the head as they walk across the stage.</p>

<p> Fun fact: Piers Sellers offered the hat to be carried into space. Given space-ships occasionally explode (and the hat is kind of important) an emblem of the university was taken to space and later sewn on the hat.</p>

<p> I was booed on the head by an oversized space-hat.</p>

<p></p>

<p> I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase enough tickets for my grandparents and parents. My family came to visit a couple weeks prior and we walked across Ireland and the highlands together.</p>

<p></p>

<p> I had one ticket left-over and Jammy was free on a Saturday morning. This meant that I was able to convince Jam-Jam, father of polar bears, the first of his name, to come to my graduation.</p>
