Launch.

Applaud me! I’ve successfully completed 12 years of state-approved education, to be acknowledged with a watermarked certificate bearing the crest of my school, and a box of chocolates. Now that the bizarre week known as Schoolies is completed, I can happily never drink again, although I doubt that'll last past the next gathering…

It seemed that the conclusion to my schooling career dragged on for at least a fortnight, with celebrations beginning with high tea at Stamford Plaza for the group (plus mothers!). Generally I have a slight aversion to mother-inclusive events, but this worked really nicely. It was a fantastic opportunity to glimpse at life after school, and so far it is indeed sweet!
