Sadly, I won’t be here anymore for my own chance of a fancy graduation ceremony with cap and gown, so yesterday I went to have a look at the parade of the graduates from the Humanities, Law and Commerce (my department – with orange stoles) faculties. Quite a big thing, with bagpipes and an assembly on the Civic Centre square.
It was a gorgeous day, btw, so I went by my favorite spot on the waterfront (sadly, the café there seems to have closed for winter). I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but there are Wellington-related quotes all along the waterfront, on plaques and benches. I took a picture of one of my favorites:
It’s true you can’t live here by chance, you have to do and be, not simply watch or even describe. This is the city of action, the world headquarters of the verb. – Lauris Edmond
