Yay! Yay yay!! (And six years is NOT long at all.)
Funnily enough, today I was at my sister's graduation (BFA) where a Berkeley faculty member was given an honorary degree. It's practically like I saw you walk!
Welcome to the doctoral ranks! Now that you're a member of our fellowship, I can tell you the truth about all those things you were wondering about in grad school (yes, they were lying to you about that. and that!)...
The hat and robes really suit you, as does the expression of beaming happiness. I think you should wear all three all the time, and possibly carry around roses everywhere too, just because you can.
Look at that grin; you're the cutest! Congratulations!

Congratulations! But I shan't call you Dr. Groppi until after your defense.
I predict that the other Dr. Groppi will find this new development very alarming.

Congratulations! I think the puffy hat is the best part. :p

My greatest regret from grad school is that I never got the poofy hat.
Congratulations!!
