I'm back..............again?

*Hangs head in shame*

I am officially the slackest blogger on the face of the earth (okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but probably not by much!). The last time I posted was in February! RIP Grandad.

In my own defence, I did have an insane amount of cr*p going on. I had to finish my dissertation (did, handed in on time :D), then essentially teach myself my second-semester module, after neglecting it horribly whilst working on my dissertation. I then had to write an essay, do a (solo!) presentation and finally sit an exam. Probably sounds easy to any other undergrad in their final year, but I left uni in 2005 and didn't return until 2009 - its a long time to be away from academic work. I was pretty rusty. But, its over now, and for better or worse I did my best. Now I just have to wait for my final results.

Ordered my gown and hood for my graduation ceremony today. Hood = the part of the garment that is dependant on your degree classification (undergrad, post grad, sciences, arts, etc). All the gowns at my university (except PhD's) are plain black. Now I just have to find something to wear under it. 

I'll be heading away on my holidays very shortly, and it is my intention to take lots of pictures and post them here over the course of my trip. I read a few different blogs myself, and my favourites are the ones with a good balance of text and pictures. I'm mostly a writer - I've always been one of those people either forgets their camera altogether, or brings it along and forgets to use it. This time I'm determined to be more dilligent in capturing the moments. If I had the funds I'd get a new digicam (mine's 4+ years old, and as such is totally obsolete), but I don't, so I'm just going to upgrade to a bigger memory card and hope that helps.

Anyway, that's the last 3.5 months of my life summed up 3 paragraphs (actually not quite - I also had a birthday but I'm ignoring it because, although I got to see my great friends M3 and had a lovely time with them, it wasn't a particularly significant birthday, and I'm really getting too old to make a big fuss over them anyway)....okay, now its more like 4 paragraphs. I sincerely hope to be back here much sooner than last time.

Peace!
