Headed to the admin office to find out if there was a staff meeting today, as last week one was held at 11am on Wednesday. No, there wasn't, Tri replied, as she was stripping roses of their leaves, because today would be a special ceremony - the Judicium, which is FBS's special farewell to the students who will be graduating formally next month. And I was invited to attend.
Voice ED, the FBS student choir, was there, the same one as at the Kebaktian Senin. They could be heard practising. Food was being delivered in the hallway, and students milled around. Everyone was rushing around in a state of excitement. Representatives from three private schools were in attendance also; later in the afternoon they would interview students for jobs in Jakarta, Semarang, and Sumatra.
Proceedings began with the UKSW song (does ANU have its own song?), followed by speeches from student representatives and faculty members. Then the students thanked the lecturers, and they in turn presented roses to the students (I was roped into this). Then a prayer, and the final song. As previously, the choir did a song that was sunshine pop sadness and gladness. A really special event.
