And I'm delighted to see everybody here tonight 

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.000
to attend the very first master's degree hooding in the

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.000
history of the university. How about that? - applause

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.000
Like I'm sure many of my classmates felt,

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.000
I was hesitant to pursue my master's at the beginning of all this. 

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.000
It is an expensive and time-consuming effort.

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:47.000
Once I did decide it did not take long for me to have second thoughts. 

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:52.000
Was this necessary? I didn't have to do this? I could be golfing right now. 

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:84.000
applause, cheers & music
