Omnipresent Hanna...school edition.

Last day of the prestigious walls of Sciences-Po home to my academic awakening and the final opportunity to etch my experience here into visual memento's. As we embarrased ourselves, roaming the campus in search of memorable locations, we were constantly accompanied by the security guards that pace the halls, scowling incessantly, their large, bulking shoulder pads dragging their smiles down. A charming lasting memory.

Moments before I was grateful to be experiencing the ridiculousness of the library for the last time. Not only is Sciences-Po endlessly criticised for its lack of computers (we're talking the Middle Ages equivalent here, its like one per 100 students) but they are painfully slow. Arriving at school, only needing to print my essay off and it took about 20 minutes for the computer to load and about 20 more minutes for me to click on the start key as my mouse refused to co-operate, deciding it would have the time of its life whizzing across the page like a cheetah on E. After finally taming the technological beast and getting to the printer, I waited in line for about 10 minutes (this is completely reasonable given past situations) and then logged on to the nest computer to finalize the printing process, one of SP's many crazy systems. The girl in front of me had decided to print off her billion word thesis on God knows what and I could almost feel the printer begging to stop. And it did. Right when it was my turn.

Flagging the obstacles involved with trying to restart a broken computer (technology and language on a team against me? Hell no) and so off I ran to the other side of the road to the equally stupid but marginally bigger library. Roaming the floors for a free computer (and burning off my breakfast crepe as I went) I managed to find one with about 15 minutes until essay due time to spare. Thankfully this time the printer co-operated and I stapled my paper French styles (folding the corners of the paper over, no staples required) and handed it into the Secretariat.

A stressful end to a semester of stress.

Following are the cringe-worthy but obligatory final day photos around campus.
