Firstly, I've finished my undergrad degree :D whooooot! Assuming that I've passed all of my exams (which I'm fairly confident about, barring Property Law) I technically have my BA in Legal Theory and Philosophy. Next year I'll have to face the trials and tribulations of LLB - what fun. Seriously though, I'm looking forward to a new syllabus and to getting involved in more practical courses.
Secondly, I'm moving out of residence. I'm in two minds about this one. First I'm quite pleased, as moving into digs has many, many advantages. I won't have to deal with intervisiting rules, house comm and house meetings, noise hours or general res-type limitations. On the other hand, I really am going to miss Jammies :( I've lived here for three years; I've enjoyed res braais, I've held and been to numerous pre-drinking sessions in res (yes I know they're not allowed. Like that really stops us), and I've had a massive wardrobe thanks to the fifty-odd girls living in the same res who are always willing to lend out clothes. Meal times, although not the tastiest, were gossip sessions and occasionally a forum for more serious discussions. Tea breaks with friends during exam studying, Mrs R's awesome cakes, getting to know the new first years every year...I know many people want to move out of res as soon as possible, but I really am glad that I stayed here for the entirety of my undergrad time. Now I sit in my empty, echoing room and can't help feeling somewhat sad that I'll never sleep in that bed again, or work at this desk, or examine my outfit in that mirror on a Friday night. This period in my life is over.
On the bright side, undergrad has been one of the most epic times of my life. I've partied, I've studied, I've been on house and hall comm, I've been to endless res and university events, I've joined societies and made friends and met some incredible people. So to all of you who made my undergrad time so special, even if it was in the smallest of ways, I wish you all the best with your future careers and I hope that if our paths cross again in the future, you'll have achieved everything you ever wanted to achieve! To those of you hanging around for postgrad: I'll see you in 2013 :D
