I've just finished my last dissertation, yes I had two! I handed my other one in on Friday and have now printed off the 64 pages of my last one to hand in tomorrow on the deadline day. I keep checking the document over and over again, to make sure all the pages are there, when I in fact know that it would have required a natural disaster in order for a page to disappear mysteriously. There is a sense of accomplishment that hasn't really hit me yet. But in theory, I have finished my degree, with a good 2:1 average (hopefully the dissertations won't be completely shit and drag the average down).
It's strange to think that it was a whole three years ago I arrived in Brighton as a confused teenager from the wilderness of Sweden. And it's even more strange to think about all that has happened since then, and how everything is going to change now. I am very excited about being released from the shackles of a three year commitment to an educational institution, and can finally begin to live my life accordingly.
I've poured myself a massive glass of wine, just so I'll be able to go to sleep. But after handing the bugger in tomorrow I am going to be a 'real person'. I've been casually applying for jobs over last few weeks but still heard nothing! I didn't really think it would be this hard to find a 9 to 5 job. Things have a way of working themselves out though, so I'm not too stressed about it, yet.

Yay well done! It's a great feeling when you've finally finished. A bit odd too, because suddenly you've got nothing you're supposed to be doing!
Are you staying in Brighton?
Thanks, I know, I'm already sensing a vibe of restlessness...! I will indeed stay for a while, just signed a 12 month lease on a place
well done; that's great! You must be quite excited, relieved & apprehensive all at the same time. I bet it's a bit of an anti-climax as well.
Bit of shameless self-promotion here but I do CV's for people (£40 for CV, cover letter templates, interview techniques & working out with you what you'd like to actually do) there's so many people going for jobs now that your CV needs to be brilliant whether you'd like me to help you with it or not!
Good luck; Brighton's brillinat; I've been here 14 years now & it goes so quickly, glad you've decided to stay. x
Thanks, sounds good. Am very short of cash these days (and you have to pay £40 to RENT a gown for graduation!), but I shall keep it in mind!
I just had a wonder through north and south laines on my way home from town and I realised that I really like Brighton and I'm not ready to leave it just yet...
