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!
