For those who are about to graduate...

It has struck me that a few of my f-list are sailing proudly towards mortarboard hats and (one hopes) Latin phrases. Here is a link for you: it is the archetypal student song through most European universities. If you want to hear it sung as it ought to be, press the mp3 button.

And good luck to you all!

There isn't an English mp3 version of that song floating around anywhere, is there?

Oh and, I still have a way to go before I graduate. A year and a half actually. I have a year of just law after my honours.

No, you really are supposed to sing it in Latin - it is, after all, centuries old.

Beg pardon. I'd misunderstood the meaning of your working on your thesis.

S'okay. A lot of people make that assumption. :) In fact, I've found myself looking at jobs lately and damn it, I want to apply for some of them! I just found a job that I probably wouldn't get, but I'm perfect for it. I'm just not sure how likely it is that I'll get top secret security clearance. I suspect talking to my flist counts as talking to people from other countries which counts as a possible security risk.
