Mortarboard graduation hat
I just noticed that Bournemouth University is having its Graduation Ball at the Bournemouth International Centre (B.I.C.) in early November 2008 at the end of Bournemouth University Graduation Week.
What a wonderful feeling of achievement all these youngsters must have and it’s great that so many now have the opportunity of a University education.
Of course, getting to University is only the first step and I know how hard my daughter worked to get her degree.
So well done all you graduates of Bournemouth University and good luck with what I’m sure will be a glowing future for you all.
I wonder how many of the graduates are mature students? There seem to be more and more people going back to University to take first or second degrees – some even into retirement age.
Perhaps I should consider going to University as a mature student! I wonder whether I could learn how to make even more scrumptious breakfasts or how to make Newpoint Hotel even more spotless. Somehow I doubt it. I think it’s only in the adverts that you can get cleaner than clean!
Maybe the biggest reason that I couldn’t cope with going to University as a mature student is all that partying! Imagine, being up to all hours and consuming vast quantities of alcohol on top of all that studying!
On reflection, I’d best stick to what I know. However, if any of the graduands or their relatives who are attending Bournemouth University Graduation Week, or the graduates who will be attending the Graduation Ball need accommodation during that week, with or without breakfast, they will receive a warm welcome at Newpoint Hotel in Southbourne, Bournemouth.
Bye for now
