Hasn't really sunk in yet, that it's done 
But just had my last exam for my Applied Computer Science course 
My last exam absolutely sucked  but some of my other's were alright, been a proper mission of a year this year. I've had no real free time and been stuck working for most of it, so it's bizarre to suddenly have nothing to think about / having over my head to do.
Crazy to think it was 4 years ago I started and it's all going to be over. I'd love to do it again but without the work load, possibly a nice easy Geography degree 
I'm off down the pub... hopefully won't post drunken shit later on here, but no guarentees Stabbvy Stabby

Actually that's a lie, I've got a list of things i need to do now.
My old company want me to develop a new piece of software for them, I've got my project software to tidy up, refine and maybe sell and a load of other stuff so not completely free yet

Yeh I'm gonna go in a sec, just waiting for my house mates to get ready.
To be honest I'm scared not relieved.
Firstly I'm scared about what grade I'll get, I've put the effort in this year and personally think i deserve a 1st but then I only got a 2:1 in the second year, so it'd require me to pull my grade up. Either way if I get a 2:1 I'll be happy... But I want a first (You watch me get a 2:2 or fail it now )
But secondly, this may mean I've gotta face up to the realisation of getting a proper job - That said I did a placement year last year and the way I felt at the end of it was 'I don't want to go back to uni, I want to just continue working' - so hopefully I should get back into the swing of it, but currently I feel like 'I don't want to work, I want to be a student!'

Great feeling finishing your degree...!!!
Well done.
Know totally what you mean...towards the end you are used to revising and worrying about exams...once there done there is a massive void left!!
Dont worry that will soon change and you will have something else to worry about!!

Paul by the sounds of it, a job will be less stressful at least you can leave that (in the main) at work and not have it playing on your mind 24/7
Good luck with your results anyway

Well done, it must be a great feeling. I cannot wait till this time next year, as I'll be in the same position as you, albeit after a 3 year degree.
I bet in your exam when they did the 'pens down' or 'stop what you're doing moment' was fantastic, I love that feeling.
I'm in the world of work too, doing some Marketing stuff and general office admin. I cannot wait to get into the world of work next year. Really looking forward to it.

I've worked 'full time' lately where I'm doing my work experience, and loved it, and didn't want to go back to Uni.
I'd have a better time out of education, for the pure fact I'd be happier and have money to do things. If you're not into drinking shit, cheap alcohol, there isn't much you can do as a student tbh.
