Grad-u-ation time, come on!

GraduationWell, I’m officially free, now. I’ve finished my undergraduate degrees (Science & Information Systems), and officially graduated! Of course, now there’s my two post graduate courses to finish, and a new job too!

I came across a website recently that outline graduation etiquette, and it seems to say that you guys should all be buying me gifts. So, if anyone would like to buy me anything off that list - a popcorn maker, nice new watch, some “internet services” or the good ol’ cash/cheque will do just fine. And, of course, to anyone that does get me any of these items, I’ll happily provide the required thank you note.

Oh, and about the new job - I’m back at Uni, but now they’re paying ME! How times change…

Freedom

“Freedom?” by Marco CassèWell, I’m (unofficially) free!

I have just finished my final undergraduate essay ever! Sure, I’ve gotta wait until results come out to make sure I’ve passed everything (I’m sure I have), and then I’ve gotta wait for some official notification that I’ve met the requirements of my degree, but… who cares about all that stuff? The only thing I need to do now is turn up to graduation!

Phew! What a relief.

Has it been that long?

Wow, so I haven’t written in just over four months - what HAVE I been doing since January? Well, for one, I’m now at the opposite end of my final semester. I know officially have 6000 words to write, and I graduate from my combined Science / Information Systems degrees.

I’m still no closer to figuring out what I want to do next semester, short of finding more and more courses that I might be interested in. I’m currently looking at possibly doing one or more of:

But then again, there’s still heaps more options. I know I want to get into I.T. security, but there seem to be so many specialist areas, and since I’ve only touched on security before (one subject a year or so ago), how am I supposed to know which area to go into?

One other thing that’s happened over the semester, is that I’ve been studying a lot of history and philosophy of science subjects, and I’ve got a taste for that, too. I’ve always enjoyed contemplating the nature of the god and the universe, but some of the philosophy this semester has really got me thinking. As such, I’ve decided to finally start a pet-project that I’ve spent the last few years thinking about, but (like many things), hadn’t quite got around to doing - I now have a blog about religion, science, philosophy and spirituality. I’ve started by re-working and posting an essay I wrote last year at uni about resolving evolution with a belief in god, and I’ve been working on a few more posts which will appear over the next few weeks. While it’s definitely not for everyone, if you’re interested, please take a look over at 20gramSoul.com - and if you’re wondering about the name, check out the about page.

I hope everyone is well, and no doubt I’ll write again soon, as it’s coming up to the end of semester (and we all know that time I should be studying becomes time I write on my website)…
