\def\longbookpage{\enlargethispage{\baselineskip}}
\def\shortbookpage{\enlargethispage{-\baselineskip}}

I feel a big relief to have successfully closed this chapter of my life. To celebrate this we opened a 1975 Colheita Port, which we have kept for over a year for this occasion (I’ve been saying that I will open it only if and when I graduate).

Now it’s time to do all the stuff I have be putting of until I finish and of course enjoying the first really free weekend!
