it's been quite a whirlwind of late... and sadly it is only with me falling ill last week and now battling them hay-fever, thanks to the pollinating trees, that i get a little 'time-off' the silly buzz carried over from the post-madness of finishing up 4 1/2 years of research; most of which -- the frustrating parts -- did not end up filling the actual thesis. thank goodness! in any case, i had an excuse to dispose it in person... be in bonnie edinburgh, tidy up some of the stuff i left behind with dear lucy, & got to meet up with my first-year undergrad flatmates (hannah, anna, and amy), and to drop by to say hello to me brother and li anne!
dropping off the final bound copy of the thesis was probably the happiest moment in my entire journey towards the 'light' beyond the tunnel. i don't think graduation in person would top it. i am done with all that silly garb... it's good fun as an undergrad and for taught-degrees where you have fellow course mates to make merry and celebrate with you. but parents always want 'the' moment to feel proud of their kid's achievement... even if it is 5 mins at the tops... and i am depriving them of that opportunity. tsk tsk tsk. instead, they are coming to visit me! RAH! i think that's much more worthwhile... =)
more pictures soon... although i've placed some on facebook... go here to see them!
i am still figuring out which picture application is best. flickr is okay although i don't find it easy to organise my stuff because i am a cheepo and am not paying for a pro-account. i quite like the interface from facebook but am chronically unsure as to how 'secure' it is... but then again how secure is google mail when you have adverts all over staring at you based on search words?! i've not used picasa for uploading of pictures... hmm. any recommendations?
else... i am catching up on enjoying life a little, learning new things (as always!)... and erm... yes tidying up before my parents show up! oooops!
