  • Back from the dead

    What is the cost of a masters' thesis done in 6 months...?

    a) 1 stone gain in weight
    b) inexplicable bad skin when it's generally clear
    c) headaches
    d) a newly developed aversion to marmite
    e) all of the above

    For those of you who answered e) well done, give yourselves a pat on the back! So yeah, here I am, a shadow of my former self, well, a rather solid shadow but one nonetheless.. thankfully I'm 118 pages of bound nonsense on engineering applications in conservation lighter, and after a month of strict 6.5 day working weeks and 6 hour limited sleeps, I'm finally free!!
    So I tried to celebrate this by going out drinking and hopefulyl lose a bit of the knowledge I'd acquired but the demons of alcohol weren't having any of it. 6 pints down, 2 double vodka diet cokes and some bizarre cointreau concoction and I still wasn't even hazy. I certainly become more vocal- deciding to pick a fight on a coursemate about feminism and then conspiracy theorists being the voice of reason and also a brief round on a federation of Europe, but not drunk.

    Very disappointing.

    But, as I say, I've handed in. Now all I have left are two exams- one on 20th century engineers and architecture and one on fire methods. Exciting! Then!! I'm a GRADUATE.
    Only the hallowed may utter this word and live to take on a job though. Maybe I'll fail just so that I can graduate next year and be employable.
