Finish line

All has been quiet on the Basil Exposition front the past little while, and that has been down to many things — dissertation deadlines, exam prep, the exams themselves — which all entail the same rather final-sounding thing, the end of my undergraduate degree.  Yesterday was my last exam, so I have now finished all my studently duties.

I hope as a result this blog will get a new lease of life, not least because I will again be reading at whim, so I’ll be writing quite a lot more book reviews.  I’ll be in Dublin for a week or two, meeting up with friends, selling old books (yes, I will finally be selling my Old English primers from first year, which I’ve doggedly hung on to “just in case”), looking around me, and then it’s London again for the summer.

I feel a bit silly marking this, but I suppose four years of anything is quite a significant stretch.  I’m going to miss Trinity.  Am I a graduand now?  Or must I wait until I get my results for that term to be accurate?  Is it too presumptuous before the results — too much like assuming that I have definitely passed everything?
