That's riiiiiiiight...we're having a ball!

The Graduation was complete on Saturday night as we performed our final act as students of Southampton Solent University.


After a buffet at our house and a few drinks including some celebaratory champers, we piled into taxis and arrived at the Guildhall to find that we thankfully hadn't missed the star turn- Roy Walker!


We got a group shot taken and then headed inside to the Guildhall, unrecognisable from what it looked like on Wednesday for the graduation.

As the night wore on and I met up with a lot of old faces from the last three years, it suddenly hit that we were getting near the end of an extraordinary period of our lives.


Roy Walker entered and played a giant game or Catch Phrase followed by Car Park Catch Phrase, handed out "Roy Walker...Legend" shirts and spouted many of his own famous phrases...

"Say What You See"

"That's riiiiiiiiiight"

"What's Chips up to?"

(Walker, 2006: 42)

After Roy, the night wound down and the sudden turning on of the lights at around 2:15am signalled the official end of student life. I shook hands with people I may never see again, looked around at the carnage left and then we left.

And so it's all over. Three years of essays, lectures, but most of all, laughter have come and gone.


Gone, but most definately never to be forgotten.
