It's now six weeks since I finished uni... It turns out that I somehow managed to get myself a first, which I'm very pleased about, I really wasn't expecting it, so it was a very nice surprise.
Graduation was this friday, with the graduation ball on the wednesday, so I finished work early at lunchtime on wednesday, went into Worcester to pick up my suit (I now own a suit - *horror*) and then trundled over to good old aber... The weather in Worcestershire was great, however, by the time I got to Ceredigion it was misty and cloudy, which was a bit sucky considering it was my graduation and everything.
The ball was quite good, however, I think I perhaps drank a bit too much, I've got bruises down my back and I don't remember taking half the photos I've found on my camera since. Was quite strange that there were so many people about, I never really got to talk to anyone properly, but that might have just been me being drunk *cough*
Stayed in one of the last remaining unrenovated blocks of cwrt mawr, and my room smelt of dead things, which wasn't all that nice, but it did the job, and I spent a hell of a lot of time out and about anyway, so for £12 per night it wasn't bad
Thursday was a really nice chilled day, and I met up with lots of people that night, it was all a bit(well, acutally a lot) random, and it was really great to see everyone again and catch up
Friday saw the actual day of the graduation, my family, and I think my gran especially had a really nice day (photos here), but then again the ceremony is really for them anyway, in my mind.
Friday evening was another night in town, seeing more people, it turned out random again, and I got to see a lot of people, but there were some people that I still missed, so I'd like to say sorry to anyone I didn't get chance to meet up with, hopefully we can meet up sometime soon, and no doubt I'll be in Aber at some not so distant time in the future, drop me a mail.
Saturday morning after moving out of halls, spent quite some time doing a few rounds of people, after going to see Matt, met for breakfast with Danni, felt a bit ill, then went for coffee with Mark, Mike and James. Saying goodbye to Danni was really hard, I've known her ever since my first day of Uni, and although I will definately see her again, it really messed with my head.
After a quick stop off at James' place, I headed back off accross the mountains back to Worcestershire. Anyway, goodbye for now everyone, and I will see you all again soon.
On the job front, I'm officially back as a "Vacation Student" for the time being - long story on that one - but I've decided that a Masters' most likely isn't for me at this exact time, so I'm going to ask for a proper job [tm]
Sold my laptop to Lowey, look after her eh :) Have since been toying with the idea of getting an iBook or a PowerBook, but we'll have to see - these things are a lot of money
