michael Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 What exactly will it entail?? Have you asked the people doing the graduation event? I've never been to one but I'm guessing: 1. Arrive and sit down 2. Listen to generic speech 3. Get called up to front individually to receive rolled up piece of paper while wearing silly outfit 4. Sit back down and endure lots of other people getting rolled up paper 5. Additional generic speech with clapping 6. Go to pub Maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 What exactly will it entail?? Dressing up in a stupid costume, being bored, watching an endless procession of other people walking across a stage, before you get up yourself shake a blokes hand, get a piece of paper, then drink copiously. edit: so really just concurring with Michael!

Dananananana Danananana BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got in a bit of a mess but eventually made it home all OK I now officialy have my BS.c Honours Degree in Architectural Design Just a bit of advice - have a few beers hehe - youll get bored to death with speeches from the principale and president, might have to honour a few honourary fellowships. then they call you up name by name and you go and shake the hands of the principale and get a nod of the president. then youll have some pics, champaign and go out for one hell of a pissup ENJOY fella - its YOUR DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

juanchan Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 hahahha PS - it lasts for the best part of 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!! So true. All for 10 seconds in the limelight as the Dean of the uni asks you "What are you going to do with your new qualification?" I only had a few seconds to reply, so after thinking about the unsolved mysteries of the universe, the solution fuel for when natural gas and oil reserves have run out and the ways of slowly harmonising people towards world peace, I went for "something that lets me drive a car like yours".

Supragal Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 It's SO boring. In fact I've tried to block it out so my memory is a bit vague. I remember having to wear stupid outfit. I remember queueing for hours to have photos taken by a weird man, and then pay for copies of the worst photos of me ever taken. Then we went to the pub for a while. Then we queued up on one side of the stage and then walked across it, got a bit of paper and walked off the other side, while the audience clapped in a "I'm so bored, why did I come?" fashion. Oh then of course dealing with my mum and sister all day... Q fake smile! http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/1561/graduationuz1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I've done it twice now. It's for your parents really. It might not feel like it now as all your mates are doing it, but it is a moment to be very proud of yourself for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 No need to worry mate. Sit there for a while untillit your classes turn then all go up together to recive your scroll then sit down again. That simple. Mine was crap because I was in hospital when my official one was given out. So they invited me to go the following year to graduate with that years class. It was pretty horrible as I knew no one:( Still a good piss up afterwards was had so I suppose it wasn't too bad:D Congrats mate, you'll have a good day:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
