The master thesis is done!

[whereisirisnow]

It is done! I have done it! Last week I handed in the report of my thesis, I gave my final presentation on Monday and yesterday I received my grade. It is an 8.4/10 *yay*. This means that I will graduate cum laude for my master (which I also did for my bachelor). Also, I finished this degree in 1.5 years, even though it is a 2-year program. Also also, my average grade is an 8.64/10. I am very pleased!

I celebrated this with my family by eating a 'bossche bol' (you can google that ;) ) and they got me a lovely bracelet as a present for this achievement. A picture of this bracelet will follow, as soon as it is properly engraved. I've also been celebrating this by doing mostly nothing science-related for the past few days, even though I had to write part of a second draft for our Alpbach-paper (which is happening! Excited!). Oh well, tomorrow is another day, another chance.. :)

Woooo, congratulations! And what a fantastic mark, especially for an early finish!

Thanks! The early finish was mainly due to me not having any summer holidays last year. Instead I did the summer school in Alpbach and a kind of internshipin Norway and a conference in Germany. Busy, but fun summer, which resulted in the early finish! Lucky too, as it may otherwise not have been possible to start my PhD.
