Oxford Matriculation

We had our matriculation today at Sheldonian theatre. The theatre was awesome old building with huge paintings, chandeliers, and church like setting.

We wore Suit, Sub fusc (kind of gown) and Mortar board (a funky graduation cap).


It kind of felt funky with this whole matriculation thing. I personally felt it was a total waste of time (day?). The University chancelor (or someone important!) read out a few words in Latin which officially enrolled us as an Oxonian!!



We will be wearing this sub fusc to the exams (Yes, all exams! I cannot believe!!). And a similar ceremony will occur when we graduate - in Sep 2007. Well, I hope to get there successfully!
