Today marked the final chapter of the lastest installment of my education. After being grilled for an hour like a particularly vulnerable sausage, my thesis defence was finally over. I now have a Master's degree! The thesis defence was considerably harder than I’d guessed it would be. I thought it would be challenging, but the sorts of criticisms I received were harsher than I’d expected. Nevertheless something must have gone right, because I received an “A”. I’m very, very pleased about that, but feel quite drained by the whole process. And so it is a tired and happy me who can now look back quite contentedly at the last few years – now from an academic perspective as well as a social one.

CONGRATULATIONS GREG!! It must be a relief to be done. I am sure that I will be feeling that in about another 2 years. = )
Congratulations!! Hope I'll be feeling both tired and happy on the 25th :D
Thanks guys! Much appreciated! Jo - they have fixed your date? Not too long to wait for you!! Have they given you feedback from the first submission?
No, the first real submission is still not submitted, just the first preliminary submission. So if they give me comments, I can't do anything, as I'll be in Spain then. So that sort of sucks. I am going to hand in the jury reading now, and then Emnet will do the printing of my rest together with his own stuff when I'm gone. But I don't think we'll get any comments to be honest. Just because of the time- issue
I hope you're right. It is such a strange process at Aveiro, isn't it!
When do you go to Spain? And which cities will you visit?
