Notes

It's a Little Naive.

This year I finished my undergraduate studies and graduated with a first degree in Artificial intelligence and Computer Science from the University of Edinburgh.



However, due to refurbishment, I was not able to graduate in McEwan hall. This meant that the only time I've had to appreciate McEwan was during my second year Probability exam. It was not a great time to be looking at the ceiling's murals.



As a substitute, we used Usher hall, the venue for the majority of symphony as well as chamber music events are held in.






We were part of the school for Engineering because of the small size of the Informatics class. As a result, we had two honorary degree speeches. I don't know what the engineer did. The Computer Science speaker got the deal to develop minecraft for the Xbox.



I guess that's vaguely interesting.






One of the distinctive things about the University of Edinburgh is that we don't have a mortarboard cap. Instead, all students wear the same cap. When walking across the stage, the vice-chancellor pats each student on the head.



Fun fact: Piers Sellers offered the hat to be carried into space. Spaceships can explode, so the hat was vital. Tclonline The university's emblem was sent to space and embroidered onto the hat.



I was booed on my head by the space-hat.






I was fortunate enough to be able to get enough tickets for my grandparents and parents. My family had visited the previous week and we walked together across Ireland and the highlands.






I had one ticket left-over and Jammy had a free-morning. Jam-Jam, the father of polar bears was able to attend my graduation.
