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.
