Post subject:  The Beginning of the End

Despite the fact that the end began a long time ago, I thought I'd choose this point to post.

Before you even think of it in that direction, no I'm not leaving, also no it's nothing to do with SWG (though I will be cancelling my account before its renewal).

No, the end I am referring to is that of my degree. I will officially finish next Friday (Assuming I don't fail any modules!). I am posting this now as the first of my two final exams is tomorrow morning.

Wish me luck!!

Well 1 out of 2 is decent (but probably not good enough to pass your final)

Ha, I'll be there in month. The end of one part of your life, it's always sad. Good luck on the exams though :)

I'm going to graduate high school come next may. I've been thinking about it, and I feel that it is kind of sad in a way, and yet, it is also invigorating. When I'm older, I will probably miss my high school and college days, and I'll think back on them with fond memories, but I wont forget that I also have my whole life ahead of me. I'll want to be sure to fill that with fond memories as well.

Just my two cents.

No, I mean writing the final exam that the students need to take next week! Of course drinking will help.

Wow! Thanks for all the responces. Just finished the exam and it went reasonably well.

The wonderfully busy schedule for next week goes as follows:
- Monday Eve, final meeting with project supervisors and showing off draft version of presentation.
- Tuesday PM, present project poster before going on to give project presentation (to a mere 400 people :shock: )
- Wednesday AM, project viva (a sort of oral exam, basically where they take our project reports apart piece by piece. Apparently no one leaves these thinking that they've done well!)
- Wednesday PM, revise for exam
- Thursday AM, Said exam, in Spacecraft Systems Design
- Thursday PM, party party party, but not too much!
- Friday AM, viva for the project that I did over the summer (Slightly less intense and far more general than the other viva)
- Friday PM, herein occurs the Board of Examiner's meeting (I'm not invited!)
- Friday EVE, Results!!! PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY!!!!
- Saturday, take day off and generally recover!
- Sunday, Start working for the Xmas, New Year period (Showing Harry Potter 4 for three weeks and then one week of Narnia)

From that point on, with all luck and hope, I can be referred to as Antan Karmola MEng!!

Woot gratz X2! I had been wondering who else was in the same boat as I.

I've got a year ahead of me before I graduate and then I move on to my other degrees. I won't be truly done for several years yet.

Well, I'm finished and not really very happy :(

Was aiming for a Distinction, ended up with a Merit. I also discovered that the PhD opertunity that I was going for fell through as the application for funding wasn't accepted.

So all in all a bad day to finish off a bad week to finish off a bad semester in all!



Oh well, I can now say I'M FREEEEEEEEEE but with far less enthusiasm than I originally wished.

Well I've had a subtantial number of people convinse me that working very hard for four and a half years to get a Master of Engineering degree is a fantastic achievement even getting a merit. That and along with the fact that I'm now the most qualified member of my family, I'm somewhat happier about it than yesterday. Hence the new sig!!!
