Fanfare!

Trumpets, agitation, excitement! Half an hour ago midnight struck. That second marked the end of my last course in my master’s degree. I completed the most challenging courses available, including: Computer Forensics, Computer Communications and Networks, IT Project Management, QA Management, and Security Engineering.

I loved those courses. And even though I won’t remember the details of what I learned (typical student) – I believe I’m better off now, having been exposed to and having had to figure out problems and solutions in these unfamiliar fields.

Looking at the calendar – it’s been 17 months since I started. The dissertation will take another 9 months. So from a calendar point of view I’m 2/3 done, but from an effort point of view it may turn out to be a different story 🙂 Regardless, this is definitely a major milestone and I have to find a way to celebrate.
