This will be my last blog post from Rhodes. I've opened and closed the blogger dashboard screen about twenty times in the last two days - I just can't seem to write anything - excellent timing on the writer's block, by the way.
I wanted to tell you all about this place and all about how much it's given me. Quite similar to Vern's wish-list post when he left, but I don't regret anything or not doing anything...
I wanted to tell you about how strangely appropriate it is that this town is full of jacaranda trees, even the trees are purple here at Rhodes - but without a photo I cannot do it justice. I wanted to post a pic of my shorter hair but that will have to wait until I'm home.
I love this place, and the last week has been a mixture of heaven and hell.

They have finally paid me for the book project of Hades, which means that lunches are fancy and dinners are huge!
I want more memorabilia! I want to hug everyone a little tighter for the last time.
So it's goodbye to the place I've called home for 4 years. I've loved it. I think that everyone has the right to be nostalgic about their university or tertiary-type place, but I do believe that had I gone anywhere other than Rhodes, I would have missed out. The people are amazing, the place is just the right size, there's no pressure to be anyone other than yourself! I have truly met some unbelivable people the last four years and I can't bear the thought of never turning up my nose at res chicken again.
I will forever be proud of my purple university, and although I'm missing graduation, I will be back someday.
So it's goodbye *sniff* to this comfy little Elbow-Knee town, and *big breath* hello to real life, or so they say.
