So, yesterday I discovered, and today confirmed, that not only have I passed my degree in Computer Science, but I have also achieved a distinction! It took a lot of hard work, and after the first semester, when I told our Course Leader that a distinction was what I was aiming for, he said that that it would be next to impossible. But, I knew that I could do it if I worked hard enough, and I feel more than vindicated in saying so, now that I have. I'm not sure what it means in real terms, other than indicating I'm slightly superior mentally (heh), don't know if I'll get an award to show that achievement or whatever.
Well, Hot Fuzz is out on dvd today, so that's what I'll be watching tonight. I have been (reliably? not sure about that!) informed that it's much better than Shaun Of the Dead, which I found fairly amusing, but I can see how it might not be so well appreciated beyond the shores of this Isle we call Brittania!
This morning we took a drive up to Inverness to acquire some Summer clothing, for our impending holiday in Lido di Jesolo. The kids are very excited about the prospect, as am I, having visted Northern Italy as a 10 year old, I can't wait for my return visit, and I'm especially looking forward to visiting Venice, even if it's just for a day! Ever since I watched Francesco da Mosto in "Italy, Head to Toe", I've been itching to visit Venice. It's great to see someone so passionate about their culture. Well, I must admit that Tomb Raider 2 has also inspired me to visit, but I hope not to be chased across the Rialto by Marco Bartoli's henchmen with their cudgels and Doberman Pinchers!
