On the home stretch to a degree...

After an eventful week, I've finally finished my essays and dissertation - the relief is incredible. All that's left of my degree now is the project I'm currently working on (that I mentioned in my previous post) and a four hour synoptic exam that's going to test everything I've learned over the past four years. I'm slightly apprehensive about it, but it's not going to happen for a little while yet.
 
I've changed a few settings on the site so I can now e-mail in updates, which should make the process of updating when away from my own computer that much quicker, easier and more secure. I should even be able to do it from my phone. Incidentally, this post is a test to see if it's working properly.
 
Also, the gallery has had its software updated, so check it out.

Good news everybody!

I know it's been ages since I've updated anything here, but I thought I'd post on the off chance someone might see this at some point...

I'm going back to Camp Cal this summer!

I really can't wait. The 2004 season was brilliant, and I can't wait to get my degree out of the way so I can just get back out to Croatia. Check out my gallery for photos from my last time out there, and www.campcalifornia.com for the camp's official site.

As for the degree, things are coming along nicely enough. I'm in the essay week of hell at the moment, having handed in essays yesterday and the day before that, with only my dissertation left due the day after tomorrow.

I'm also working on a project at the moment, which I've been working three days a week on since the beginning of term - I start full time work on it from next week. It feels great to actually be doing real research, discovering previously unknown stuff that could ultimately help cure muscular dystrophy. It beats sitting in a lecture theatre, incidentally something I'll never have to do again as of last week...

The real world seems to be approaching ever more rapidly.
