What's Up, Doc?

That was nerve-wracking but, if I'm honest, not as much of an ordeal as I anticipated. Some sharp interrogation occurred during the two and half hour session, but in the end my thesis was passed with no corrections. The examiners somehow failed to spot me for the complete intellectual fraud I am, and so the story ends. I may even be able to close out the admin process before next weekend's departure for southern parts.

Farewell studenthood, presumably for the last time. It's been a slice.

Now I have plumbing to organise, and travel, and a wedding. And to get a job, just as Western Civilisation seems hell-bent on destroying itself. Again. So that should keep me busy.

I am not planning to change the title on my bank cards.

We may all be frauds, in the end, but some are more stylish at it than others...

Well done - many congratulations, and all the best for the upcoming trip, April and beyond.

Congratulations!

By the way, it gave me great pleasure that you took pleasure in the reappearance of the eddies. That was my second and probably final move in that game (the first occurred right at the very start).

Félicitations et des grosses bises!

Many thanks, all.

[CdM] I attempted to keep tabs closely enough to be ready to make that move myself, but was a little distracted at the time. So very glad you managed to do it yourself :)

(Also: will anyone not pop up here eventually?)
