It's been a good few free food days. As most of you know free food is the fuel for all postgraduate students, so when I get two free meals in 3 days, it must be a good start of the week.
One of them, of course, is much more meaningful and grand than the other. One of our mates from high school got hitched after going out with her boy for 9 years. As if that's not happy enough they decided to have a Chinese style reception! Yippee! 13 courses my friends! Of course you don't eat much in each course but boy was that satisfying. They also gave in and put shark fin soup on the menu. It's one of those things that I just equate with bliss and happiness. I also introduced Pete to the wonderful world of shark fin soup too. Mind you I wouldn't be surprised at all if the fin isn't actually real, but that just made for guilt free eating.
Today: TA debriefing and lunch. MORE free food. Usually when it's catering in engineering pizza is there aplenty. The pizza to postgrad ratio was almost 1:1, which is pretty ideal really. There was, of course, plenty of amusement provided by the blue cheese pizza. Especially when one of us decided to "rescue" a guy reaching out to it only to find that he actually likes blue cheese... who would've thunk it?
I'll start my diet after Christmas.

The End the Nigh!
Yes! I managed to make my supervisor goes "Wow... that's VERY good. This is what we want to see!" So who knows, maybe after this week I might be able to just start my thesis. Yay!!
It's a bit scary, thinking about finishing the thesis. It's been a part of my life. It's almost my default excuse of not doing much. I think I'll miss my flexible hours, and fact that I can get up at 10am and then work in the weekend instead. Doing my PhD also kept me in this student frame of mind for longer than I really should. While everyone's talking about changing job and OE and whatnot, I'm still trying to impress my supervisor. *sigh*
And after this, I don't even know what I will do. Research job would be nice. At this stage I won't even rule out lecturing. Although, I would really want to get out, get some research experience for a few years, before I go back and teach. I think part of me actually do enjoy teaching, although I think I enjoy teaching small groups a lot more than a big group though.
Ah well, this week I shall stare at my data more. Will be going into work tomorrow to show the company what I've been doing too. Still thinks it's looking good. I'm still excited. :D
