After six years of studying at the K.U.Leuven I finally graduated (even with distinction!) and obtained my masters degree in psychology (more specific: clinical psychology for child, youth and family).
The proclamation itself was quite a pityfull business. Althoug we saw more than 15 profs leaving the room where they held the deliberation, only one (!) made the effort to be present at the proclamation and I suspect him of being there only because two people have to follow on the list when the names and grades are being read aloud. Because we only gratuated after the third examination period no official reception (with drinks, snacks and professors giving speeches) was held. Until last year our faculty was the only who held two official promotions, one in july, after the second examination period, and one in september. This year they decided that they couldn't afford two promotions anymore so they only held one in july (instead of doing it on an evening in september so that everyone who graduated that year and even those who are already working, could be present).
Luckily Annelore (a friends friend) invited me at the last minute to a party/reception that her parents threw for her graduation.
No pictures from that party though, I didn't take my camera with me and besides, we were all to busy eating those delicious snacks and desserts that Annelore's parents ans sister created.
There were:
- mini vegetables with dip
- cherry tomatoes with a shrimp-mayonaise filling
- different types of chips (also with dip)
- little mediterranean quiches, halved for serving
- mini cheese croquettes
- mini spring rolls
- panna cotta with berries and raspberry coulis on top
- mini creme brûlée (with caramel sauce on top instead of the 'brûlée')
- white bavarois with limoncello and crushed bonbon Napoleon on top
Although I'm not so into last minute party-invitations, I'm glad I accepted the invitation this time. The role of the yummy snacks should be obvious, but probably more important is the fact that we all had a 'real ending' to those years as a university student.
