Master's Degree
Last weekend I graduated with my Master's degree after 6 years of working at it part time while working. Hoping to finally relax a bit over Christmas! 
And cycle ... of course cycling!

Congrats. I know from watching family and friends pursue advanced degrees it's a lot of work.
The very thought of going back to school gives me recurring nightmares of being an adult in 5th grade, barely able to squeeze into a desk, because I didn't finish one assignment... or something. Or maybe it was because I argued with an English teacher about assigning a dumbed-down kid's version of Edgar Allan Poe, when I'd already read his complete unabridged works by 4th grade.

Thank you all ... it is really nice to be done, although I think part of me hasn't quite realised it yet!

congrats! Hope this year I'll get my master's degree too. I found writing service to buy essay online and save my time for exam preparation. Hope with its help I'll get good grades in English.
