Pomp and Circumstance~

[Psychotic]

Americans didn't "steal" anything. You Brits just brought it with you and changed it up a little after you slaughtered all the natives. :rolleyes2

Except for the fact that the American version was written in 1831, but nice try. Bonus points for the "GRRR YOU SLAUGHTERED NATIVES!" thing.

My graduation in 2004 was boring.

Why was it boring?

Because we had 896 people in my class. It takes a VERY VERY LONG AND BORING TIME to finally get out of there. By the end of it, no one even really wanted to do anything.

As for me, my mom got into a car accident shortly after graduation was over. So really that was the only memorable thing about graduation.

We had a Leavers Assembly when I left Secondary School. We had movies and pictures of us shown from the 5 years, provided by the students. We also had awards and speeches, too~

[Shlup]

My friend and I weren't allowed to go to graduation, so we slept in and then met my husband at the park. He went and graduated with high honors. xD

Our diplomas still say the same date as his though!

I graduate on my 18th birthday. How FUN. LOLOLOLOL.

[Disco Potato]

My graduation itself wasn't memorable enough to share with people who weren't personally there to see it, except maybe for the fact that the ceremony was held at the same uni I go to now . But the night of graduation, the seniors got to go to Dave & Buster's (after paying $80) and hang out and do different things provided by D&B and our high school's PTSA. The thing lasted until about 5 the next morning, but my friends and I wound up going on the last bus, which took forever to come pick us up and take us back to school. So I basically got home at 7:30 that morning. It was the first all-nighter that I ever pulled, and I was sick for the next 3 weeks

'"Land of Hope and Glory" is a British patriotic song, found to an extent throughout the Commonwealth Realms. It is particularly noted for being played on the occasion of the Last Night of the Proms amidst much flag-waving.The tune for the song was taken from the first of Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance marches, which is used as a graduation march in many universities and high schools in North America."

Aww, all these people graduating school.

I got kicked out some 12 years ago. But that didn;t stop me. I got into art school and then uni. And I can boast that I've worked for MTV. so smurf education.

[Bunny]

Working for MTV isn't something to boast about. It's a dark secret that you should keep to yourself forever.

[Madame Adequate]

I don't recall graduation. We don't do anything for it in England at all. The American ideas of high school pride and spirit and whatnot are completely alien over here.

Depends what you do there.

Unless the job is sterilizing the other employees, I don't see how any good can come of it.

Was talking about God Save the Queen/My Country 'tis of thee with that post. I guess I was wrong about Pomp and Circumstance in my earlier one but let's pretend I never said that.

[Bunny]

Nope sorry. It was said, you were wrong, I was right and I will hold it against you until my untimely demise!

:P

Our school pulled a fast one on us by ending the year suddenly about a week early, thus stopping us from fullfilling our duties of making sure the fire alarm is perpetually ringing on the last day.
