Now *I* am the Master ...
Well I suppose that technically I'm not, not until I graduate in April, but I have officially completed all the requirements of my degree and if people would really like to start calling me 'master' earlier then I'm sure not going to stop them. And I'm still yet to make a decision on the whole 'Master of Evil' thing, so there are some wrinkles left to iron out.
My main feeling on getting the results was sheer, unadulterated relief. I had walked out of my exams feeling very confident about the way I'd performed, but over the two weeks between sitting the exams and getting the results doubt and dread had worked their little fingers into my brain and I was starting to feel quite anxious about the whole business. So much so that I stayed up on Thurday night on the hope that CSU might release the results at midnight and I could save myself what was likely to be a fairly sleepless experience anyway. They did, and I passed, and though I was fairly useless at work on Friday in any case I more or less deflected things off my little bubble of contented happiness. The weekend was much the same, although with the added bonus of getting used to the fact that I actually have weekends again, and don't have to spend all my leasuiure time buried in textbooks and labs and simulations. It was nice.
The next step is, of course, getting a job and a place back in Melbourne. At the moment I'm still brushing up my resume and lulling my referees into a false sense of security but hopefully I'll be sending out applications before the end of the week. There were 83 IT jobs in Melbourne this week and while I'm obviously not suited for all of them, the market is a lot more promising than the last time I did the job hunting thing. Finding accomodation might be the more difficult thing, but if the worst comes to the worst I can alsway stay with my brother until I get things sorted out.
Finally, my master plan is all starting to come together ...
