Graduation 2004!

[xamenus]

Almost time for me to graduate! Yay! :holiday:

[Davemc]

Gutted.

Graduation schmaduation. Over here graduation is just like... great... school's done. No big ceremonies or bullshit. I think some of the American malarky is a little bit... overly American.

In any case, I've got another year of misery ahead before I'm done. Which is a nice prospect to face as you wake up every day, as you can imagine.

And right now... I'm doing shitloads of massively important exams! Yeargh!

[Remote]

Congratulations :D

[Clements]

I hear you US folks leave school a year later than us britons. I'm 19 and already completed my 1st year of Uni :P

I have some nasty tests coming up, I'm particularly worried about Biochemistry, Embryology and Microbiology and then I'm free for the Summer! :D

I hope you guys have a big celebration, and stay on at school - you know you want to!

[xamenus]

I've heard that too, Clements. I'm 18 now, graduating from high school. Lots of stuff different in the US when compared to Britain, I guess. ;)

P.S. Thanks, Remote. :)

I'm 18 and I am just finished my first year of college. I hate it though because the college I go to doesn't have any real major I'm interested in so I have to go with Computer Networking which is easy as hell.

P.S. Congratulations to everyone graduating this year.

[Macca]

Because I don't really feel like going out of the state where I live just to go to college and other colleges around here just plain suck.

[Eagle]

Gratz. my sis is graduating friday as well.

[2fast4u]

2fast, you graduated when you were 16?

yes sir. quite different system in germany :P

[Chibi Nick]

My little brother is graduating this year... he just had his grad ceremony on Friday, but he doesn't finish school for a couple weeks.

I graduated when I was 17... at what age do the people in usa/england/anywhere else graduate?

[Xade]

Over here you CAN leave school when you're 16, after GCSE exams, but that's only if you want to go to *college* to do A-Levels or go straight into work.

Otherwise, you spend two more years in school in what's called 'sixth form', doing A-Levlels.

Post A-Levels, again you can either go into work or, from there, go to university when you're 18.

I did a hybrid of option 1 and option 3... kinda

Left school at 16 and started work, but ive been at "college" and then "uni" since working towards a degree.

[Xade]

Did you quit work to go to college or was it just a part-time thing?

[blizz]

I'm guessing here Sy, but did you do a HNC/HND and then went into Uni that way?

[deesse]

my sis will graduate this june(3), McGILL Uni.

yeah :flowers:

[rcgamer]

people in the United States graduate (at least the majority) when they are 18.

[sytaylor]

Cool some mystery... nah

I started work full time, and did an HNC (then HND) part time, now im doing a degree part time :cyclops:

[AlphaWolf]

I could have graduated from junior college this year, but decided to put it off for another year to get an additional degree.

[linker]

Graduated a week ago and just came back from my 3-days graduation party :). Yea those were good years filled with happiness and sadness.. I'll miss them. I hope I'll get the exams and go to uni this year.

[xamenus]

Tomorrow night's the night for me! Congratulations to everyone else graduating, and good luck to those taking exams! :)

[revl8er]

Congratulations to the graduates once again, I hope your college years turn out great.

[linker]

Thanx those were good wishes :)

I would now like to proclaim my total geekiness :p

I'm sitting in the "coffee" area of the church where my graduation is going to be held in about 1:30 hour(s) with my laptop. Luckily, I found a wireless access point near by, and am getting about 10kb/s downloads, which is a whole lot better than my dialup at home. The only thing I hate is that I can't take my laptop in during the service, cause it's gonna e long and boring...oh yeah, and my battery goes dead in 1:30 (what a coincidence?!?!)...I shouldn't of played Splinter Cell on the way here...:(
