Wow, sounds like I'm surrounded by a bunch of really intelligent people. I'm afraid I am not what I would class as an 'academic'. However, I am working really hard, and hope, in 18months, I will be a qualifie nurse and can go back home to be with my boyfriend and family. (What a softie, eh?!)
LK, my word it does sound like you've been busy. Good work with all that jazz! And glad you weren't ill during your studies but sucks that you have to be ill at any time...
Lalaith, bragging is fine when put in such a lovely way. You deserve to be congratulated on that - it is quite some achievement. I am officially impressed!
And the letters after your name are awesome ones
