In 15 minutes, I'm off to my graduation ceremony. Here I will have the honour of wearing a dress and a stupid wooden hat, walk across a stage, shake the hand of an ugly old man with bad breath, receive a fake plastic scroll and then walk off the other side. All this in front of a load of parents who don't give a crap, because they're waiting for their kid's 7.62 seconds of stage crossing fame. After this I will be given the option of paying ludicrous sums of money for a single photograph. I will also have to pay my £40 for hiring my unbelievably cool and timeless graduation threads.
Ok, I think it'd be pretty cool in some respects, but I always feel these things are a little bit of a farce. Anyone have an interesting tales about their graduation ceremony? I'm hoping someone will trip up so I can stand up and point at them and get the whole crowd laughing at them, and then get their degree revoked. bwahaha. Ok, maybe not.
Do I have to do anything strange because I got a 1st? Will they make me juggle, or do a lap of the stage bowing? Or will I be treated like the rest of the lambs to the slaughter?
Ok, must go and put on suit and look posh for my 6.39 seconds of fame (I walk faster than most people).
