Finals week/Final week

I can’t even believe I just named this blog that! Up until now I have been trying as hard as I can to pretend that I’m not actually leaving this place that I’ve come to call home in a mere five days. It is completely surreal and unbelievable to think that I may never return. And that is all I’m saying on the matter!

Last week was undoubtedly the lamest week since arriving. All I did was study. Or really, attempt to study. I don’t know how to do this whole pre-studying thing; I always do a last minute cram session…so it was a completely new experience for me. I did nothing exciting the entire week.

So as of right now, I’ve completed two of my four exams. My marketing exam was on Friday. Good news: My team won the marketing pitch! There were a total of either 15 or 18 teams, I can’t remember which. It was so nice to be recognised for our hard work. Our average grade between the paper and pitch was an 87% so that was completely lovely! I have my facilities exam yesterday (yes, on a Saturday, is that not completely cruel?!). It was really rough.

Tuesday comes tourism and Wednesday is rooms division management. Those two should be alright and relatively straightforward. A little bit of studying should suffice.

No photos this week…unless you want a picture of me studying diligently in my green and tan cell of a dorm room!

The beginning of the ends has begun. After everything we do, it’s now, “Oh this is the last time we’ll [insert activity here] in Australia,” or “This is our last Sunday in Australia”…etc etc. Two of the American girls already departed this morning, since they were finished with their exams. Goodbyes are not fun!

In short, I am very excited to come home, but not excited to leave. Though I guess I really can’t have one without the other…

It may potentially be a very long time until I post again…maybe sixteen days and from Michigan! Unless I stumble upon an internet café in New Zealand or Fiji or Hawaii…But no worries: I’ll still post one up with all of my traveling adventures!

Until then…Cheers!
MJ
