Since I last posted, a great many things have happened, some fun, some not so fun, but all part of the great adventure of life and all opportunities for growth and the development of my character. It's all too much to put in one posting but i'll hopefully get around to it all eventually.
The biggest transition of recent times is that I have completed my University Degree! After 17 years in the British Educative machine, I have finally been spat out and flung into the 'real world' (as it's so often and repugnantly referred to by those no longer studying) I'm not sure yet how I really feel about it...It's a strange mixture of emotions. I certainly feel some relief that the intense all day-everyday dissertation writing is now at an end, but the sense of direction and purpose (education) that has characterised my entire life thus far has also been removed, leaving me with the question; what next? Having lived in a constant state of preparation for the next set of formal assessments, it's a strange thing to no longer have any on the horizon.
The final 4 weeks of term have been really intense and stressful, spending little time with my fiancee and much time staring ineffectually at the computer screen, fueled by coffee and the advancing deadline. But- it's all over now and it was a joy handing over a huge heavy wadge of paper knowing that i'd worked by butt off to finish in time. If it were possible to somehow quantify the cumulative effects of formal education on me as a person, my skills, my abilities and my personality, i'd be interested to see the results. Maybe I'll have the faintest idea one day.
Now my attention must turn to getting a job and finding a flat, because I get married in 8 weeks! The way I feel about all that is probably best left for another day as it's getting late...lets just say; it's all VERY exciting!
Will be back soon!
Ta ta for now.
