I have decided to postpone by Jet applications until next year . Actually i didnt really have a choice. Due to exams etc, I wasnt able to get the dean to sign my "letter to confirm graduation" on time (she said id have to wait till exams were all over before seeing her), and Bryan is postponing his application too because he wasnt able to get his Australian Citizenship on time.

So.. JET applications will be put off one year :(

Today I sat my final exam - EVER. Well, actually, I hope it is my last exam ever - I wasnt able to finish my last essay so hopefully I still managed to scrape through :S

But anyways, after sitting the exam, and being told we could all go home, the entire room of law, engineering and psychology students let our a unanimous cheer and roar. It was definitely a relief, and an elation to have finished it all off. After that however, it dawned on me that it was also the end of a youthful era. After five years at uni, 4 different course changes (yes yes im fickle), it was suddenly all over as the clock ticked past 10.10 am.

Looking back, I have had an absolute ball at uni. The fantastic people that I have met , the little odds and edds that I've found out about life, and experience that it has afforded me - it really is something. Looking back, we've lost a few people along the way, due to changing courses, graduation and all that, but those people still managed to leave a little imprint on my life.

Now looking forward, I'm a little bit apprehensive about what life after uni would bring. The uni years were marked by a sense of freedom and independence, a sense of maturity and youth at the same time, and a feeling that nothing could touch us. Now, we're all competitors out in the world of work. We all have our little life-goals to meet. And we all have our different paths to live.

I just hope this ending doesnt mean the end of all that we've enjoyed in our youth. :( And i most certainly hope it can only signify the start of something even greater :D

... Just because I'm lazy :) Here are some piccies from Stophe's 21st Last night:

[ The Boys .... where are the girls?? ]

I *hate* studying. Especially when exams are *almost* over and graduation is *almost* here *touch wood*.

I have realized that I have spent 17 years of my life on education. I know they all say life is just one big learning curve, and you never ever stop learning.

But right at this moment, lookign at that pile of psychology 313 notes , I am ready to kick learning and push him into the ocean.

*grr*

PS. Good luck for those with exams :D

At work, we celebrated melbourne cup with a long lunch from 11.30am - 2pm, sweeps, and of course, for some of us risk-takers, some TAB bets. Lunch was filled with yummy things, with Nando's catering, lots of cakes, yummy sandwiches and salads, pizzas... everything. There was also lots of champagne bubbles to be had and we all ate ourselves silly, and drank ourselves silly, with the hope of never having to return to work.

Not wanting to be a party pooper, I bravely sipped a whole 2cms of champagne (mixed with orange juice of course) and then proceeded to be become incredibly tomato-red , and evidently became somewhat intoxicated... there was imagined conversations, lots of giggling and of course, racing hearts and woozy heads...

Amazed at the my great ability to drink alcohol (or lack thereof), Raal graciously went down to the shops and bought me a fabulous present. At first look , I just thought "oh no... more food" ... but then Raal smirked and pointed happily at the reason for the present ...

"Cadbury" ... symbolises the one hell of a drinker that I am ;)
