Yep, the dissertation has FINALLY been printed twice (a week before the deadline #shock horror#). Took me about TWO HOURS, sodding colour printers and tight fisted me....

All ready for binding tomorrow and submitting, I can safely say I will be glad to see the back of it :shock:

Now on with the 2 practical reports, bird survey, essay and presentation oh and 3 exams I have left to do, then my uni life will be officially over. Madness, those 3 years have rocketed on by :(

Congrats :)

If he didn't have the bike and the freedom of being able to get down here, (oh and the fact that I go to uni in Wales with some of the best roads around) I don't think it would have been quite as easy!

I envy you................there are so many fabulous places to visit, and doing it while you're young is fantastic.

Plenty of time to settle down and become a boring oldie with a mundane job. You go travel, girl!:D
