Ever Closer...

We've crossed into the month of May and edging ever closer to my departure date...

Having submitted my copies of the thesis to the Dean's Office and clearing up a few more forms here and there, I have now only to wait for my exams to come by and that final of finals (lectio coram) before I can heave big sigh of relief from all my studies here in Rome! Meanwhile, it had been quite a drag to continuing waiting all is out to its end and some days are literally long. Sure, there are classes to continue going till end May and some other studying that needs looking into, but the temptation to go and do something else less 'studious' creeps in, making it all sort of confusing. It also gives me some sense of suffering a guilty pleasure of sorts to be the only person in the Collegio student, apart from those who are currently doing their doctorate or have finished it, who is free and with nothing much left to work through :-D

Anyway, the days are getting hotter and summer is just about to make its way in, so I might as well 'enjoy' whatever I can from the last months here...
