End of an Era

On Friday, i had my last official day of classes at UNSW. It was such an anticlimax.
I think something must be wrong with me, because people put such emphasis on certain days, such as graduations, last days of whatever, anniversaries, birthdays... and like i think im sposed to feel like its a really special day or something, like when i turned 21, i woke up and thought.... i wanna go back to bed... or something along those lines.

Throughout that day, i just wondered if i should be feeling different? As the smses and phone calls came in, sure it felt nice to be loved, but besides that, i felt no particular specialness about the day... mmmm

From what i can tell, i think some ppl really do feel different on these kinds of days, can someone explain it to me? Rob, i think u mentioned having certain feelings/emotions on that day?

Anyway i thought that the last day of uni was worth a mention thats all, i mean 4 years of the highest level of institutionalised education, and honestly, its been so fast.. i can still remember first year clearly, sleeping in bucklands Comp 1A.

Also had another interesting conversation with joseph about aiming for our dreams. At what point do we draw the line and say hey, we arent gonna achieve it, we shouldnt go for it?

What if you arent happy with your job/course?
When is it too late to change? What price can u put on a dream?

mmmmmm
