I'll have to try and download that speech...perhaps tomorrow.
Ah, I see. That's pretty cool, actually, particularly the part about the traditions and whatnot. Sounds like a blast.
. Here, most kids just hold parties (heh, the week I graduated, I ate so much cake and as a result, it took me a while before I could even look at it again, let alone eat it. LOL). The clothing sounds kinda cool, too.
LOL, okay.

Merc said:In high school? Actually we really don't "get" anything... We buy the hat ourselves and you can buy T-shirts, sweatshirt ect. with this text on: "Student anno 2001" (<--- the year you graduate from High School) in colours matching the ribbon on your hat (or the colour of your hat - we have different kind of high schools and every kind has their own ribbon-colour plus the hat can be black or white.The black hat is the first and "original" model from the 1870's, but almost no one ever buys that anymore - the white model became the "real" students hat around 1900).
Besides the hat and the shirt we of course get our diploma, but it isn't decorated or anything like that. It's just a white piece of paper - a list of all your subjects, the levels of the subjects you've had, and your final grades... And the head masters signature of course!
At the graduation day there is a ceremoni at the school where the head master gives a speach, you sing a few songs and everyone gets on stage and get their diploma from the head master. After the ceremoni is over the fun part begins!... and there are *so* many traditions included in this
... And depending on what you do during the graduation day, you have to do certain things to your hat... Crazy
but fun!
When I grauate from the university?! A diploma (again a boring piece of white paper, only with the grades on...), a hand shake from the head master, a speach given by a totally unknown person from some company, the health board, whatever and...nothing else, I guess...

If anything exciting happens, I'll let you know in 2 years time
LOL, okay.

Nothing too exciting will be happening at my graduation though. But I think I'm going to do this:

A little later, I went to a shop to have it "mounted" (basically laminated on a piece of wood). After awhile, the edges started to curl up and it no longer lays flat
