End of Second Year

Today was the last day of semester at Uni. Although all our lectures had already finished, we still had to go into Uni to give our demonstrations for our project. I wasn’t too fussed about that because I knew that our demonstration would be alright (probably not perfect, but alright! ) and I was looking forward to our class rep lunch afterwards anyway.

At 12pm we had our class rep lunch in the briefing room in the ECE department. The lunch was put on for us as a thank you for our work this year. A few people gave short speeches and our HoD Professor Allan Williamson gave his closing remarks on his thoughts about the year. There was plenty of pizza to go around and I made sure I tried several different kinds.

The end of the lunch marked the end of my second year as an Engineering student (except for the one exam I still have to sit!). I was thinking of going home since I didn’t really have anything else to do, but luckily I bumped into Caragh and Rebecca near the quad and they invited me to join them to go to the free concert put on for UoA students held in the quad.

When we were allowed into the venue (after being searched for any alcoholic drinks), we were greeted by people dressed in bright yellow giving away free drinks of Lipton ice tea. Since I’m usually too poor to afford drinks like that, I thought I’d take the opportunity to drink as much Lipton ice tea as I could. The promotional representatives even agreed to have a photo taken with me

I even saw Calum at the concert with some of his friends. We didn’t stay at the concert too long, maybe because we went when the bands who were not so well-known were performing. It was a nice way to round off a good year at Uni though!
