Why is it that my list of things to do is longer after uni?

It feels surreal; the fact that this is my last week as an undergraduate. It didn't even end with a bang. Just a slow, slow gentle roll. It doesn't feel any different to a normal week at uni. There's no celebrations, no cheers at the end of the last class, there's not really... anything. Boooo :(


I was feeling a bit down about that, but then I ate a Mars Bar. Now I am all :D:D:D:D:D:D!

Heh.

I have only ONE month left in Sydney. Just 30 odd days before the end of a chapter of my life. And in that short space of time I have to
  • Sort out 4 years worth of stuff
  • Pack the stuff I want to keep
  • Ship the stuff I want to keep
  • Give away, recycle or throw away everything else
  • Confirm flight tickets 
  • Decide if I want to get gifts for anyone in Sydney
  • Get gifts
  • Meet up with Sydney friends to say goodbye
  • Meet and thank people who have helped me at uni (supervisors, lecturers, random PhD people) - or perhaps just be lazy and send them an email?
  • Get contact details of people
  • Redirect university mail
  • Remember to get pictures from housemate (!!)
  • Inform family about flight details and ask them to pick me up
  • Arrange to meet people I know in Melbourne
  • Decide whether to cancel mobile early and switch to prepaid for the remaining duration
  • Prepare for an interview
  • Buy shoes for interview
  • But gifts for everyone at home
  • Firmly remind family about picking me up from the airport
  • Find out how to get house bond back
  • Vacate current apartment, get back bond
  • Close my bank account
  • Cancel my mobile
  • Cancel my internet
  • Cancel other miscellaneous subscriptions
  • Call family, cry and threaten to run away if they don't show up at the airport
And that's about it. Phew, I should probably make a proper schedule but I'm tired just thinking about it. Gonna take a break and eat my Kit Kat now :D:D:D:D:D:D
