Laura finishes school for good

After having completed her HSC exams, Laura finished school in style this week with a graduation event and an evening formal on Thursday. She had the 'full works' in preparation for the day (posh frock, hair, nails, tan, makeup) as is the requirement and we all attended the graduation at the school in the last afternoon.

She was then whisked off to the city with a group of friends in a limo and they had their formal dinner and dance at Darling Harbour until midnight, which apparently went well. They were then hoping to spend the rest of the night clubbing in the city, but either couldn't get in to some clubs (too full with other school parties) or the clubs were closing! So they ended up trying to get transport home for several hours but had fun regardless!

So Laura has now finished school and awaits her exam results in December. She's taking a gap year which will include some travelling and work before hopefully starting Uni in 2010. She's also got the next few weeks sorted, with 'schoolies week' soon and then a 2-week trip to South Africa, so more about these soon!
