PHEW! Uni results in

I guess my 40 year old brain is not completely addled yet...

High Distinction in 1 subject, 2 Distinctions, and a lowly pass in the other (the lecturer/tutor and I did NOT see eye to eye and had public arguments - of course, my assignments were marked harshly!)

So, that's another 2 Chemistry subjects out of the way, and one of the Physics blocks (got more to go in Physics yet - I love Physics). The High Distinction was for Digital Photographic Practice - I took it as an elective to fill out my requisite Arts subjects. I even included a couple deep sky images in my assignments

My results were late because I had deferred exams thanks to a medical condition that reared up late last semester (that almost saw the end of me, not just uni!)

Yeah, for a month... then it's Biochem, Microbiol, Optics and Electromagnetism (YAY!) and applied mathematics (GROAN!) - all while I work full time too, and run a household.

Managed it so far at 2 years in... 1 to go

Well Done Lewis. Looks like to brain doesn't suffer at 50 years either so you have plenty of opportunities

Another mature-age swat!! Congratulations. You seem to be doing a somewhat eclectic mix of subjects. Can I ask what the degree is?
