Sweeeeeet! I just got an email from my dissertation supervisor saying that my grade average for my honours year in History/Classics was 80%, which means I graduate with a first class honours Bachelor degree in History and Classics. So basically I get a little '(hons)' beside my name on the piece of cardboard they'll give me at the grad ceremony. Bonus! I'm a happy chappy I tells ya! I should hopefully graduate again next year with another Bachelor in English. Then it's off to teach English in Japan. Right on!

OK, I'll quit my ranting now.
CHeers.

Later ya'all!

Great work! I sort of know what it's like. Our DM has not been able to play for a couple of monthe now since he has to read 2-3 books a week for his English classes. At least it will be over soon!

What are you basing this on? The course could be piss easy to get 80% on, or Hiero could be brainy boffin bastard, and in both those cases he would not have had to work hard [img]tongue.gif[/img]

There's no need for hoping, or did you miss the fact that his account of his supervisor's email was in past tense? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I had a nice 4 month break in which I did crap all except for a long hike in the Pyrenees and a month pissing about in Budapest.

At the beginning of October I moved to a different town to go to a different uni to start my PhD in mobile ad hoc networking. Now I'm doing crap all under the umbrella of doing a PhD and getting paid for it j/k, but it has been slow to get started, since there's so many tools to learn to use and too much reading to do.
