Degree offered (and accepted)

Today I was offered and accepted my degree. This is what it said on my student home page...

You have been awarded an Upper Second-class Honours (2.1)

I was never exactly sure what the title would be, but here it is...

Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computing & Information Technology and Mathematics

And I can use the following letters after my name...

BSc (Hons) CITS (Open)

All a bit of a mouthful but there you have it.

Ceremony, gown and photography is duly booked and will take place in October, after which I will write the final post in this blog and lay it to rest for evermore. No more education for me.

It's all over, finished, done, mission accomplished

Today I took a peek at my OU student homepage, and my exam results were up 8 days ahead of schedule. I was delighted with my results which was a grade 2 pass in both MT365 and M336.

I had been more than a little afraid that I might have flunked M336, but my score was actually better than that from MT365 (73% vs 71%). OK, I obviously just scraped a grade 2 in each, but that doesn't matter now. The result is what counts.

I'm feeling a bit numb currently, so I won't say any more for now. I might sink a couple of cold beers tonight to celebrate though.
