It’s over...

I guess by now it has been AGES since I presented my dissertation to Prof R and my supervisor, Dr F. It has been a long, winding journey completing the task. The day I registered for dissertation, I knew it was gonna be sucky. What seemed like a billion years later I finally managed to finish, and present it! Woohoo! The results of my other 2 subjects also came out. Amazingly I managed to get As for both demonic subjects. I had no idea. I mean, I knew I answered something but I didn’t expect it to be enough to score myself A.

Let’s see... I’ll summarize a bit about the 2 subjects I took last semester.

Construction Business Management

 I registered for this course during my first semester but dropped it due to scheduling and I didn’t like Professor Show-off (me being childish and weren’t ready for LIFE). But it was mandatory and I couldn’t escape it so I took it last. Turned out, the course wasn’t so bad. I mean, I still suck at finance and I had no idea how to manage my own saving accounts, let alone a construction company. But the professor made it alright. I struggled through the tests and assignments. I think I got a frickin’ 60% for test 2 and would be happy to settle with a B+ as long as I pass it. Turned out my financial knowledge weren’t that bad. After a cruel set of final exams, I managed to scrape up what was left of my brains and scored myself an A. I guess having high admiration and respect towards the lecturer made that difference. 
 
Research Methodology

 I remember going to like 3 (or maybe 4? 5?) classes for this whole semester. Not complaining. The lecturer from Iran/Turkey was sooooo busy and was literally forced to take the class for the semester. Replacement classes were out of my schedule, as I was homeless and travelling back and forth from Mars. The rest was hardwork and preservation. I completed all assignments using all I could and managed to do a brilliant job. It helped to be a lecturer myself and knowing how to write papers and grantt forms. Anyways, finals were crazy. 7 questions to be answered in 2 hours. Not to mention the mini paper we had to write in under 10 minutes. But I had fun answering whatever it was I answered. And then I got an A. So all ended well.  So there you go. 10 subjects and a Dissertation for a masters scroll. Still waiting for the transcript, though. I’ll post it as soon as I get it. ;)
