The coming week will be my last STUVAC. Hurray! I just realised there are a lot of "lasts" of my uni degree that I have recently enjoyed or very soon will. I say "enjoy", the exams I don't think so, but finishing them will definitely be enjoyable. Among my "lasts" that have come to pass: I've had my last coffee on campus; my last lunch break on campus; last time at the Village Green which I usually refer to as the oval, which technically it's a circle but that's what I use to call large round fields of grass all the way through school and habits die hard. My last lecture, last tutorial, last essay written and submitted... and now STUVAC.
For those not living in Australia, you might be wondering what STUVAC is. If you're thinking acronym. You're wrong! It's pronounced stu-vac which is simply short for Study Vacation. How silly. Who would ever really take a vacation to study? But that's besides the point. It's my last one! Three more exams and that's it! No more uni! Hurray! But there ain't any balloons and the party hasn't started. I'm stuck here. This moment. This minute. Pre-STUVAC. Of course I consider this week STUVAC too 'cos I'm such a little nerd, cracking at the textbooks already. I say "textbooks" but who am I kidding I haven't opened a textbook in two years. So "nerd"? More like half-nerd, a nerd who hates reading long chunky slabs of text. Well, unless it's interesting but, unfortunately, if you're me, you're staring at concepts of retirement income policies, hardly riveting stuff. Oh don't get me wrong the lectures are some of the best I've had, but, cramming it all in my head just for a two hour exam is not fun.
The end couldn't come sooner. Oh well, back to YouTubing. Study. I mean study, really.
