Post your Achievements - New Jobs, Academic......

I finished my postgraduate obligations completely - ie, I finished my exams in June, finished my thesis in November and had the oral examination for it in December. So I officially have an MSc degree in Software Engineering & Telecommuniactions.

I also got my first job, at a great company leading a software integration project.

Yay me! :)

EDIT: I just got my first paycheck!

Hahaha, thanks! A condo is sort of like a small house that's part of a larger unit - mine is a two-story duplex. Some condos are basically apartments that you buy, mine is just set up a bit differently.

If any FinalGearers lived anywhere near me, that'd rock! However, I can only think of two other Calgarian members - and one of them's my best mate, anyway! :lol:

Any renovations on the agenda? When I bought my house, I basically had to gut the place, it took a year and a helluva lot of money. <_< Good experience, but I never, ever want to renovate anything like that ever again!
 
Just the basement, It's only semi-finished so I'll be pulling out the walls and redesigning it how I see fit. (read: bedroom, office, photo studio) The upstairs is in great shape, so no reno work needed there. Should only take a couple of months and be relatively inexpensive, fortunately.
 
I just had my last exam today :D got a 9 (on a scale from 0 to 13, where 6 is the lowest passing grade) so now I'm a Bachelor of Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology :D :D :D
 
My achievement is that this morning I re-enrolled into uni after a year off. I am officially a first year again! Woo!

congratulations! for those who don't know, MIT (the Massachusetts one) is nearly impossible to get into. Their acceptance rate is barely over 10% if i remember correctly
 
The Beaver's, MIT picked its mascot when drunk, eh!
