Reports have been received that sixth year Arts/Law student Jemima Parkinson is beginning to feel a bit awkward about still being enrolled in university at the age of 25.
“It’s all a bit embarrassing, isn’t it?” Jemima discussed with friends this week.
“Honestly, I’m at the age where I need to start having regular cervical screening tests. Not buying obscure textbooks off randoms and logging into mysinet.”
“I literally get the biggest ick for myself when I see the Blackboard and UQ Nav apps on my phone,” Jemima said.
To compound the humiliation, Jemima has learnt that she has an outstanding first year History capstone to complete before she can graduate. “Good god, they’re going to think I’m a mature-age student,” Jemima said, as if this was a fate worse than death.
Sources close to Jemima have told the Obiter that she is refusing to submit her timetable preferences in my.uq, out of sheer humiliation at having to do so for the eleventh time in six years.
“What’s the use anyway?” Jemima reportedly sighed, “it’s not like I’ll be attending.”
Unfortunately, there is more to come.
