[MSc] Graduation

[dancefloorlandmine]

Given that I'm graduating a year late, due to Project Cock-Up, should I bother going to the graduation ceremony? I suspect most of my classmates who graduated will have done so last year, so I'll be with the following year's class. In addition, I need to pay for clown robes and so on. cookwitch has expressed an interest in attending, if I do, and valkyriekaren is pretty sure that she has meetings that afternoon (20th March). Anyone else want to see me trip up on the top step and headbut whoever's doing the presentation in the groin (a traditional part of the graduation ceremony)?

How many MSc CompScis need to resubmit their project, on average?

And how come Computer Science is a Social Science? Surely, as valkyriekaren says, it's an antisocial science?

I should add that my inlaws (who are academics) bought me my doctoral robes on the assumption that, if I stayed in academia, I'd get a fair amount of wear from them at future graduations (on the platform, rather than amongst the graduands).

I rather like graduations, even if those at Southampton are the least impressive of all the institutions I've graduated from.
