And that's a wrap

I had my final final today. It was a week after my second to final final. I had a whole seven and a half days to revise to it, which was a nice change of pace given that the first five of six finals were paced over six days (With three in the space of two days!)

So

I am done

I finished university

Not officially of course. I officially finish university when I graduate on June 29th, but I'm practically finished now and just have to laze about and not spend the whole of my loan while I wait for graduation. Since I'm moving back to Stafford after I graduate and working to save up money to take a Masters course in the future, tere's not much point in getting a job at present for six weeks or so.

I'm the first person in my family to graduate. Both sides of it. My father never finished university, neither of my aunts went to university, my grandmother got a nursing certificate somewhere when they were much easier to get. On my mother's side; she never got past highschool, neither did my uncle or my nana and my nana's father was a coal miner (The source of family pride. I don't really get it, but there you go) so yeah. My brother's situation is... complicated which makes me the first person in my family to finish university.

I don't really feel all that proud about it, I mean I'm mighty happy I survived and did my best, but the big thing is that I feel sad that my nana didn't live to see me graduate. She was ferociously proud of me, and I really wish it was possible for her to see me at my best.

Well, the next chapter of my life begins now (Or in six weeks time). I'll keep learning, keep writing, keep reading and hopefully keep having fun. I've proved for four years that I can live on my own, so let's see how I do with employment.

It'll be an adventure. See you all there.

Also I'd like to thank you all for being here and providing advice and frustration release when needed. I'd probably be a very different person now if it wasn't for OWF. I've been on OWF for the entirity of my university career and I definitely don't regret it.

Thanks all of you =)

Congratumalations, that's most spelidiferous to hear. Also well done for completing university.

Now you've joined the hallowed ranks of the unemployed! So what are you trying to do with the next 69.4% of your lifespan?
