Welcome to Limbo. The weird twilight zone between finishing a course and graduating is the weirdest place to be on Earth. The lull in activity does give you time to discover new things, but the imminence of your birth into the real world gives you no chance to really enjoy them. I've discovered a lot since my degree finished, including a couple of new best friends who I'll get to see a lot less often now, shortcuts around a city I'm leaving and the fact that before the week is out I may have to come face-to-face with my arch-nemesis but must restrain myself from committing bloody murder. If this is what Limbo is like in the first few days I'm more than a little apprehensive about the next month and a half.
And beyond that the real world waits like some monstrous animal, crouching in the long grass ahead of me with its jaws gaping, its teeth filling my vision and its putrid breath assaulting my nostrils. This beast is being ignored as much as possible for now but when the time comes I'll go in all guns blazing and hope to come back out with its head in a bag.
Once more unto the breach dear friends, once more.
