Out Little Vet

Emily dressed as a Vet for Xmas day

Somehow the box was more interesting -:)

Oh dear not her best side ...

Well here it is

Merry Christmas, everybody having fun?

This week I have survived the office party (just), been a teeny bit embarrassed to be mentioned in the Christmas Speech by the VP as being the latest "graduate" to Citrix and won a lovely Kellogs Hamper (thanks notsupermum)

as well as having dinner at Frosts Garden Centre with a visit from Santa!

Today I get a rest, well not really, as I still had to do the usual sorts of things like washing (erm because someone leaked tattoo ink onto the bed sheets - picture of tattoo will be shown another time), picking up a parcel, getting Emily's hair cut, quick visit to office to grab books, reading material and course work, along with digging up slightly frozen potatoes, carrots, parsnips, leeks and brussel sprouts for dinner tomorrow. Not too sure about the carrots and parsnips but the other veg looked good enough to eat.

Well we wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year for 2011!

Wooo I got educated

This morning I received my exam result email from the Open University, probably the last time I see one of these (*grins*) but after three years, only 1 month off from studying and overlapping two courses for 5 months - double ouch - I was (un)officially awarded a BSc(Open) - that means I now have a Bachelor of Science Open degree - the Open part means I haven't followed a particular Open Uni course path but rather chosen what I've wanted to study all within the realms of the IT courses.

But what's best of all is that I actually achieved a Grade 2 (72%) in my last exam -the last exam that I thought I had failed (I even declared to the world that if I get 40% I would be happy because at least that was a pass) so anyhooo I've managed to outdo myself with this one, I have no idea how I achieved such a high score on an exam paper that I thought was a downright biatch. Go figure or is that Woo Go ME!

My gown is booked, the ceremony is booked at the beautiful looking Ely Cathedral for the 4th June 2011 and my allocated 3 guest places have all been booked and paid for - so there's my xmas money already spent :) easy come - easy go.

I'd like to say a big thank you to all the brilliant and amazingly talented brainy folk I work with at Citrix, for pointing me in the right direction when I could not see the trees for the forests, for my friends for supporting me and for my family putting up with the fact that I turned into a horrible ogre (well most of the time!)

I now have the next 9 months off from studying, and I'm now looking forward to starting a Masters next year.
