It's been a pleasure

How can I adequately write this post? Last Friday we had our final dinner together as a class. This was the last time that we would all get together and eat a meal, drink some wine and enjoy one another's company before we scatter to the ends of the world. A joyous occasion - we have come through much together and succeeded where others have failed, and a sad occasion - from this point onward, nothing will ever be the same again.

I looked around at my table, populated mostly by classmates from my college and smiled as I remembered meeting some of them during week 0 of Michaelmas. They have become true friends and I hope that we manage to stay in touch through the busy times ahead.

I look around the room, there were some people who surprised me, others who changed before our eyes. Some with whom we had our moments, good and bad and others who, I'm sad to say, I never got to know.


It reminds me of a song by LeAnn Rimes which goes like this:

Sometimes the time comes along
When it's time
Time to move on
You'll still be there
In everything that I do
And wherever I go I'll remember you

Goodbyes
I'm not one for long goodbyes, so I'll make it quick. I hope you've enjoyed my blog, that it has informed and inspired you and if some day you'd like to look back and remember, it will be right here waiting.

As for me, it's been the most memorable year of my life, and one that I will remember forever. But for now, all that remains to be said is... Goodbye.
