It was a very melancholic day, however. It was the last time that I will really ever visit Reading, it was arguably the last time that I would see a few people whilst for my best friends that I have made from university, this represented the end of an era.
If I am being honest, I was pretty anxious about the day. This covered four reasons. One, I didn't know what to expect. Two, I didn't want to be the idiot who fell over when receiving their certificate. Three, I didn't quite like the fact that this represented the death-knell being sounded on my university experience. Four, I didn't want to look like an idiot in the robes.
However, it was a fantastic day. The sun was shining, I enjoyed putting on the fancy robes that I was given, it was great to see friends, teachers and families whilst it was just a proud moment for my parent's to see me graduate.
Oh, and I didn't fall over which was a relief.
Congrats!! I graduate next week and I'm feeling the nerves! Did you have a celebrity guest there? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! We didn't have a celebrity guest, just an acting vice-chancellor unfortunately :( Good luck for next week!
