Maybe the word you're looking for is milestone?

Makes me wonder how oral exams differ around the world. Here in the U.S., they tend to involve high-powered jets of water, tortuous-looking stainless-steel implements, a lot of scraping, and horrid fluoride treatments.

Actually Asa, at this point, that sounds preferable to what I have to do.
Pro! Thank you! I just couldn't think of the word last night.

No MUD2008? (Muck Up Day, that is.)

Our school has a new head of senior school, and with her came the banning of huge number of our traditions, one of them being Muck Up Day. Don't even get me started on how angry we are, haha.

You can't ban Muck Up Day, that's unAustralian. Bob Hawke would have revoked his/her passport.

inorite! It's just not cricket.
Maybe I should give Bob a call and have him come talk to the school authorities.
He can come to our parties, too. Any man who can chug a yard glass in eleven seconds is welcome.

Pleth, I hope early congratulations won't jinx what's still to come. :-)

Thanks rt, I'm sure you haven't jinxed me.
Although, if I fail my Chem exam, I'm blaming you (much easier than admitting I haven't done any work in Chem all year).

Krikey pleth, you're still in high school? You come across as older and wiser.
fwiw, I thoroughly enjoyed the later half of high school and was quite nervous about moving on. And from this vantage point (I'm 317 years old), I can barely rembember those days. I mean in no way to diminish your excitement, fear, or any of the good/terrifying stuff going on for you, but you have many many adventures to look forward to.

Not for much longer, John.
Adventures, I can take. 4 more weeks in this joint, I'm not too sure about.

John's right. I'm only 173 years old, but I still remember how my cohort lived, breathed and worried over the NSW Higher School Certificate and whether we'd get the score we wanted/needed. And within a week of starting university it was as if it were the most inconsequential thing in the world and we wondered what the hell we'd been worrying about. Not that the HSC wasn't Very Important, because it was, but we simply regained much-needed perspective.

Geez...I graduated from college and still didn't know what I wanted to do.
It was the early seventies...

I almost graduated from uni not knowing what I wanted to do (or thinking I wanted to do something that was in fact the wrong thing to want to do). I was saved in the nick of time by an ad in the newspaper which drew to my attention the fact that out in the big wide world people (not very many, mind you, but enough) got paid to do what I ended up doing. Just think, I might have ended up in Holland, an ordinary baroque flute player, and instead…

I graduated uni not knowing what I wanted to do, and eventually I got to do something. But I still don't know what I want to do.
