End of exams, start of real life

This last week has been of one of the busiest ever! And one of the nicest as well :)
It started last Tuesday, when i walked (relatively happy) out of my last oral exam, and went straight home to greet my little brother Olivier, who just arrived from his one year stay in India (studying informatics there). It was just so nice to see him again, one year is long.. He showed us pictures of his last trip to Pakistan, China, Tibet and Nepal, and the pictures are just so amazing.. it makes you want to drop everything and just go there, it's so amazing.. and all the stories that go with it, my brother is really a good storyteller :)

My brother and me last Saturday by the lake where we had the nice celebration dinner :)

The next few day i had to clean, pack, see my friends and do all these little things you postpone while you're in exams ;) I went to see the dentist, and sitting in the waiting room I started thinking: must be tough doing a job where people have to come see you but don't want to, although you're just there to help.. and then i realized that this is exactly where I'm heading to: come on, who is ever happy to enter a lawyer's office? and you only have a 50% chance of the person walking away happy.. but at least you know you've done what you could, and hope that the person doesnt hate you too much..

Saturday was busy as well, moving my stuff to Fribourg in the morning, and then in the afternoon the official ceremony at university to hand the diplomas.. my grandparents were also there :) After that we went and had a very very nice dinner in a restaurant by the lake, in Lutry. And I got some amazing presents, here you can see a painting done by my grandmother that i just love, and she gave it to me!!
