Handing in...

My heart jumped through my throat when I saw an email in my inbox from my uni titled "Thesis Submission 2006", as I thought it might have been an explanation of the unfortunate circumstances by which my whole project had been completely rubbished and that I would have to start all over again... anyway, it wasnt, it was just this lame-o photograph of me on the day I submitted all four copies of my work. I was supposed to have my picture with the new Lady Dean of Graduate Research at UNSW but she was too busy or picking her nose or something so didnt turn up. I got my blankety blank cheque book and pen prize ( a UNSW keyring ) and a scroll that says "CONGRATULATIONS!"... yeah great.

The whole affair was quite an anticlimax but that was to be expected. The whole thing is made worse by the fact that the lady taking the photo couldnt compose the shot without the two guys in the background having a heated debate about whether he could sack his supervisor cos he was an idiot...such is life. Also of mild interest is the building you can see in the background is actually where I worked... handy that.
