Why take a paragraph to say what can be said in one word

Hello, pea. I am great, thanks for asking. I have finally had official word that my thesis has passed examination. My supervisor told me on the sly a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't want to get too excited or say anything until I had the official letter from my uni in my hot little hand. Based on the examiners comments, I have some minor corrections to make to my thesis, it will be reprinted, bound and officially submitted. Then it is all over and I can graduate just before Christmas. Yay!

Other exciting news is I start a real job on Monday. Really, really nervous about it. Not my dream job, but it is full-time and more closely-related to my area than working as a shop assistant. I only have a contract until the end of the year, but it should provide great experience and I will hopefully be able to learn a lot more about molecular biology in that short time.

How are you, pea?

Great news, PinkNeuron. The wonderful thing about puppies is it doesn't matter what breed they are because all puppies are beautiful.

katq - My mum bought me a sewing machine for finishing my PhD last week - she is such a wonderfully practical woman. Although she has always encouraged me to go to university and "have a career", I am sure deep down inside a small part of her wishes I was a 1950s, stay-at-home mum who sews curtains and clothes for my 5 children all day! First sewing target on my list - curtains! I am so excited and off to buy some fun material on my day off today.

Neglected thread!

That was supposed to be a laugh at the Bush comment, so sorry it kind of just looks a bit scary.
