Pop the Champagne

....It may be too early to celebrate getting a Masters' degree (won't know if I passed everything until November!!!!) but it's definitely not too early to give a big whoop for joy!
I've handed in my dissertation after months of hard work (we..lll strictly speaking it was six weeks of hard work) and the feeling is one of ebullient relief. I can't even sleep for some reason, so excited am I to say I am finished with school.

Goodbye dear old books you've served me well (no worries, they are getting a welcoming home soon, with a friend of mine who is going to LSE in the fall).


Now that I've handed in my last piece of academic work ever (unless I madly decide to undertake another masters' degree) I have two blissful weeks of NOTHING in which I can explore London's nooks and crannies, socialise socialise socialise over a drink or a cup of tea and perhaps even head south for a few days in France.



And just to reassure you that I haven't been "all work and no play" here are a few pictures from last weekend's adventures. My friend K from France (we met in Sweden so many years ago...) was here and she dragged me away from the library for a day to explore London's canals, markets and teashops. K is a dear soul with a beautiful smile and a similar eye for cute "kawaï" stuff so we had a ball together despite my pending dissertation submission and daily pilgrimage to the LSE library.

We randomly joined a tour of London' East End's back passages...


A huuuuge thank you to my faithful editors (you know who you are) for pointing out my many typos and incoherences. My dissertation "Steve" is now in the safe hands of our departmental office and soon to head into the world of multiple mark ups from several red pens. Good luck and cross my fingers!

Miss you all, see you soon.
Yours,

Miss Engagée
