The end of an era

Ladies and Gentlemen...

It's been a long hard slog and there were times I wondered what the hell I was doing... Worse, why the hell I was doing what I was doing... but the end is at last in sight!

Last night was my final lecture of a two-year part-time Masters degree. I have had my life filled with this nonsense for two whole years, and now that I've got my nights back to myself, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself!!!

OK, so I'm not finished yet. I do have two exams left and a thesis to write, but none of this is insurmountable. I can do that. I've already done six exams for this course and countless other exams in my life, so two more can't be that hard. (Also, in a bizarre twist of bizarreness, I've got better and doing them as I've got older... who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?)

As for my thesis... Well, I may not have actually started writing the bugger, but I've been thinking about it. A lot. And doing a lot of reading around the subject. I'll probably be one of the most well-read ignoramuses (should that be ignoramii?) in the world, ever!

I'll keep y'all posted with progress reports on this thesis bunkum. Oh, who am I kidding? I'll keep myself posted!
