Hey everyone!
Congratulations on all the graduations!!!!
And good luck to all those writing exams.

I agree. While I was busy completing my degree, we conceived via IVF. And...looking back now, I would have never managed to complete my degree if she was already in our lives.

@Chanti - I want to encourage you to continue your studies before baby arrives. It is hard work to study and raise a baby. I have a friend, I think I told you about her already, who is pregnant with her second set of twins, who is struggling to complete her studies. The new twins are going to be born on Monday, if they don't decide to come earlier. So do it now, while you can! You can do it!

I am a middle child and had to be self-dependent from a young age. I love my family, yet I have to take care of myself. So that's maybe why I'm the only one from my siblings with something a more than Grade 12. My brother and sister both only have Grade 12.

@Anzel - I love that plan!! Sounds like you really have your holidays organised. Ah wow two graduations already!! how awesome! Im thinking of doing a post-grad diploma in taxation now to sharpen my skills, will see how it goes, if no BFP by January then I think I will register.Weldone on being the only one in your family with such great qualifications, it really does take a lot to go against what everyone else is doing.

Oh I know about those saunas, @Chanti. Walked over that stage twice already. And the excitement increases with every time. It is such an achievement today to be qualified. I am the only one in my family with a Degree and Honours Degree. Everybody else has a either matric (Grade 12) or a certificate. I wish to inspire them to also go the long route to get qualified. The qualification I am completing in November doesn't have graduations, so I'll have to take pics with my certificate when it arrives! :woohoo: :woohoo:

@Chanti - I am soooo looking forward to the rest after of the exams. I just ordered two thing books from Leserskring and my two colouringbooks are ready and waiting. I'm just going to chill and rest and veg for the holidays. The College closes on the 11the of December. We are going to PE to visit my folks for a week before returning home for Christmas. Luckily I have four weeks holiday in December. When my exams are over, I only have the one textbook to finish and then I can rest. So looking forward to that!
