Hmmm, didn't know that could be counted as a toy! In that case:

Though I got mine in June, and there are no fancy signatures on mine! Worse still, my uni was too cheap to give us any frame for it... images/smilies/sad.gif

To make matters worse, I had to ask for a replacement certificate as the first one had my name wrong!!! And then the replacement just says 'Aerospace' (as you can see) as opposed to Aerospace and Satellite Engineering... images/smilies/sad.gif
Just missed on the first class honours too, but .5%... Oh well...

Yup, I still have four years left. Two of it internships though.

Considering that I'm already studying 2 1/2 year that's a lot. I hate that it takes so long to finish your studies in Germany. If I'm not mistaken we're on top when it comes to the average time needed to get your degree.

To answer your question andyhui, yes i am Asian. In fact i was born in Hong Kong( think i mentioned this once before long ago).

The frame shown in the picture was paid for when i was buying my graduation gown. Guess how much that frame cost me with the embossed logo? $150 USD!!!!!

But i wanted something to show my shiney degree from UC Berkeley.... the best public university in the US!!!

As for the Bachelors of Arts thing, UC Berkeley gives BA to everyone in college of letter and science. So physics majors, math majors, chemistry majors all get BA. Unless you are enrolled in the College of Engineering, then u get a BS.

Oh yea, did you all see "honors" at the bottom!?!?! heheheh only about 60 ppl got that out of 500 students. I worked my ass off for that so that's why i am pointing it out now hehe.

Yup. I graduated in June and I'm still unemployed... images/smilies/sad.gif

Have been looking at PhD courses for the last couple of weeks now. if I can't get a job, I may as well use my time productively to make sure I get the job I want - even if it is a little later...

And yeah, it is a cheap looking certificate. Bastards. All those thousands of pounds I paid them and all the work I did and I get this... grumble, grumble... images/smilies/smile.gif
Been moaning about it for a while now, but realised it's not worth it anymore. Particularily as it seems employers don't want BEng qualification anymore but at least Masters instead. Things changed a lot while I was at uni... images/smilies/sad.gif

Anyway, somehow we've managed to stray dreadfully off topic again! images/smilies/biggrin.gif images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

lol. back on topic... i recieved my logitech lx700 wireless desktop. Hopefully i can swap out the receiver of my MX1000 mouse with the reciever in this wireless desktop so i can make the charging station of the mx1000 work for everything. And ultimately get the lx700 mouse to work by itself.

Coming soon... pictures.
