It’s official!
Yesterday I graduated from university with the equivalent of an MA in Social Anthropology (major), Media Studies and German Lit (minors). The ceremony was simple, nothing remotely connected to the decorous affairs seen in American movies. Not even the deacon wore a robe, and there even was one student wearing a Metallica shirt. 
Still, I got my diploma and am now facing about seven months here in Basel before leaving for New Zealand. The plan is to find an internship with a humanitarian organization, get some actual experience in the field I want to work in. Also, there’s of course been stuff piling up that I need to take care of, so after the short vacation I allotted myself this week I’ll probably be quite busy. But mostly I’m just glad it’s over - 6 1/2 years were enough!

Hi!
Anyone still here?
In any case, the fact that I passed my exams seems to deserve some kind of celebratory post… Orals were yesterday, after which I got my grades (for my thesis, my written and oral exams in all three subjects), and on Saturday there’s a small graduation ceremony, where I’ll officially become a lic. phil, an MA. Woopee!
My plans for what comes next have undergone some changes in the past couple of months: New Zealand (and my diploma in Human Resource Management) have been pushed back to the third trimester, starting in November. In the months gained I’m hoping to find an internship, to actually get an idea whether my ideas for my professional future are any good. I also withdrew my resignation from my weekend receptionist job at the retirement home, so I can save some more money before the big move.
Other than that I celebrated my 26th birthday at the beginning of the year, and I started something called ‘Project 365′, where I take a photo every day for a year. You can find them here.
