So this happened.
New College does not require academic regalia, and while I love the symbolism and theatre of the thing, I can see as how mid-May in Florida is not where you want to be wearing a black robe with hoods and stuff. So at NCF the graduating students can wear what they like. Like the guy in the shark suit, or Freddie Mercury, or the chap in the Hawaiian shirt, or the multitude of magical sorts.
And then there was my daughter, the Mermaid Queen.
I am immensely proud of her. She is launched and ready to take on the world. Which sorely needs her and her classmates.
