There were five in the bed and the little one said...

This photo tells a sad story for some, a happy one for others.

These girls -the Famous Five of the Law School- have come and gone. Initially when deciding on this title I was thinking of this, however, a further investigation revealed how perfect this label is for 5 Canadian girls because of this.

Alas, only spending one semester together (053) the Famous Five have gradually disbanded. First, after the late return of Sabrina was Sally's exchange to North-Western Uni. She didn't come back. A law school back home realised what a catch she was: offered her a place, she stayed.

Next to depart - Sabrina and Anj. This makes me very sad. Apparently Sabrina started here the semester before I did. She stayed for two semesters headed home and then re-appeared a year later. Lucky. Anj (the lovely Anj) who also went home for a semester finishes her degree and heads home to join her family. She looks a lot like my Mum. (I can sense her cringe when she reads this - but it's true! )

This leaves Jess and Anita. They should both be back next semester, providing Anita doesn't stay at the Bangkok Hilton traveling through Thailand. However, she is only back for a semester until trekking back over the equator to the northern hemisphere to complete her JD on exchange. Seems Jess will be the sole remaining member of the Famous Five in 071.

It's been a pleasure getting to know all these girls. Stay tuned for individual fond farewells...

Also leaving, as they are graduating this semester are Jem (best flat mate ever), Meegs Braithwaite (will really miss her), Belinda, Rabia, Morgan, Anne, Ena, Alex (aka the rocket and the sprocket-i prefer the names their parents gave them) James Perry, Jess McCauley (I'm sure the list goes on, but I'm getting old and my brain just doesn't function the way it used to). Other people who have decide they need a break from the Gold Coast for the semester include, Paula, Andrew(Bond Pin Up Boy extraordinary) and Rob Bartrop. They are heading off on exchange.
