I remember stopping on the school driveway. I turned around, looked at the school and said out loud "Thank feck for that".


Mine was a bit different. Got to the a week before due back at College. Still had 230 pages of Chemistry notes to write up. Turned up for an "open day/interview." Got offered a job. Never went back - well not until Uni a good few years later.

How will you be able to spot the difference? :mrgreen:

Go get a wash, and fingers crossed for results, mate. Well done.

Ha, that's true. To be fair having spent 18 months of the 4 year course working in the real world, it does make you appreciate the university lifestyle more, I'm certainly going to miss it and wish I could do it all again! The 2:1 I need for my graduate position is pretty much nailed on, so not to concerned about my results and I can just enjoy myself until graduation (can you believe you have to hire the robes! You'd think with all the fee's paid they'd chuck that bit in for free!)

I can believe it yes - if memory serves, they weren't particularly cheap either.

Nearly a ton for robes and a picture. Booked mine the other day. Fuming!

It was about 36 for my robes I think. No idea what the picture will cost. If it was up to me I probably wouldn't even go...but you know, mums and that...

Yeah, mine forced the official photo on me. My argument of 'dad has a camera' didn't seem to stand up. Not sure I'm looking forward to the day. Sitting in a place waiting for them to read out 350 names promises to be tedious as anything.

For that outlay, I hope the supplied gown is a black affair rather than the magenta one I was required to wear one time.

I graduated from school uniform on a Friday, to a new boiler-suit in Monday. :(

Got the boiler-suit from "Bowes,the shop with the man at the door" on Bridge Street. :wink:

I didn't even stop, Bruce, though my thoughts were similar. Shook the dust from my feet and immediately emigrated to Canada. I'd had quite enough. University was great though. I went there in 1963 and have been there ever since - now Emeritus I still have an office and do my research, while hobnobbing with the other old fogies over longish lunches.

Good luck to the bishette.
