And so I'm back...from outer space...

Exam over.

Oxford don't allow you to take water into an exam, apparently. You get your writing implements, university card and the hat.

University is now finished until October.

2/3 of my Masters is done.

It's odd. I don't feel as jubilant or as bouncy as I thought I would. I'm just feeling tired, and weirdly tearful. A bit of me wants to say 'is that it? All that work, all that effort, and what does it come down to? Me sitting in a room for three hours in a stupid robe thinking about how much my hand hurts and how sore my throat it.'

I think it's come down from having been wound up for so long. Now I just feel tired and a bit icky. I've got a week to go before I leave for Australia, and gods, I'm looking forward to that. I want to get away from all of this. I want to clear my head out and work out what's worth worrying about and what's just so much crap.

Exam over.

I said that already, didn't I?

I think now would be a good time for me to go home...

Well, yes - if you don't have a whole series of exams, there's little point differentiating between first & last ;)

Also, to be honest, a lot of grad students don't get involved in so much of the student culture as the undergrads, so they may be blithely underaware/unbothered by the tradition.
