Tim.'s Blog

This is a blog about me, my life, and the choices I have to make!

University finished, bring on life!

 At 10.30am on the 20th of May 2008, Tim.'s University education was complete.

 Well I have done it. My last exam is done. I never thought three years ago that I would make it this far, produce numerous courseworks on time, and produce a 55 page dissertation, that was of some value to the agricultural industry.  I guess I am full of various feelings of the mixed variety... Education is all I have known since before I can remember when my mum bundled me off to pre school at the age of 2, already mad on farming! And here I am at the end of it, havent got the official degree yet but by my calculations I could have not gone to the exams and come away with a 2:1. Official results are out on Friday the 13th of June, unlucky for some, hopefully not for me Tongue Tied.

This may be the end of my official education, but rather than seeing it as an end I am seeing at as the beginning of life learning, learning through work, putting what I have learnt here into practice, that it really where it counts. In mid june I will be starting a harvest job on a farm near Loughborough, which hopefully will then progress onto Farm Management Training afterwards at another farm. So I now have a few months to twiddle my thumbs and relax a bit. The problem is what will I do with myself? No university work to do.... Well I have the FarmPlanner Competetion to finish, so that should keep me busy, but after that I wont know what to do with myself!

So yes, just a quick update on how things are going, my brain didnt quite feel up to it after last last few weeks of revision.  Thanks for reading and take care!

Congratulations Tim! I remember I felt in a complete daze for about a week after I handed in my dissertation, so make the most of your break to let your brain unwind!

Congrats on finishing. I can remember the relief (and seem to recall a bit of a hangover the next day - not helped by the fact that I managed to get knocked down by a car about an hour before my final exam!).

Glad you have a bit of time to relax - make sure you enoy it :)
