I just got an Official Communication in Oasis saying “It looks like you might be ready to graduate this semester - here are the dates you need to hand in your Intention to Graduate form by”. It’s a good thing too, because even though I am quite aware that this is my last semester of […]

This has been one of those weeks - it’s been full of troubles and difficulties and lack of sleep. But I don’t want to dwell on it - I’ve had my rant earlier tonight, and now I’m trying to focus on the good things… To that end, here is a list of some of the […]
