Finally starting the home-stretch to my master's degree tomorrow. Its' a 3 and a half month internship, and after that my thesis. (this Friday will be hopefully be my last oral exam, so I will be finished with all my courses.)
I should be finished woth everything by the end of next academic year. (otherwise I will run into trouble with my internship)

FINALLY!!!

I will be doing my internship with Thales Nederland. I wanted to do it with Thales UK at first, but my contact there, after saying she would get back to me that same day, subsequently stayed silent for a whole moth, in spite me trying to contact her almost daily. I mailed, called and even called her cell phone! Turns out, I heard via-via, that she had an international intern last year, for whom she had done a lot of work to get budget for, and then he didn't show up. She had such an hangover of that, that she didn't want another international intern. Now that is fine, but she could have told me so, instead of wasting my time and letting me hang for a whole month

BUT i got in here in the NL easily enough, and it is just 30 minutes on the bike, and if all goes well I will do my thesis there too, in the same area, which will give me a running start. And I might still do a 2 week exchange program with a uni in the UK to get that little international note on my CV that I wanted too. And I will get paid too. Not much, but hey are not required to pay me at all, so I'm quite happy with that. That will help with my student loan (or with getting my Sweetheart here!)

I'm exited to go there tomorrow, (if not a little nervous.)

Here's to the home stretch!!
