Post-thesis

Yes, after months of too hard work I actually managed to get the thesis submitted. So while waiting for the results I am trying to adapt to post-thesis life. It's kinda weird. After 3 years of being mainly in the role of student, all of a sudden I have to assert myself again as the professional person I was pre-thesis. Realise I actually do know what I'm talking about when it comes to, say, teaching or management or communication or road safety. I am not dependent on any supervisor's opinion, instead I can give my own. Without referencing anyone else. Will take some getting used to I guess, but must say I am beginning to enjoy it. Bring on the new projects! :-)

I think I can spot the exit

Have been wandering through the labyrinth for quite a while now, but it lookes like I can spot the exit. Just a few twists and turns (or so I hope) before submission of my thesis. However, hope to stay into academics, so decided to take up my blogging again. Just because it is so much fun to write in English (or should I say it gets more difficult to write in Dutch?). Anyhoo, post no. 1 is done. Only a matter of 'keep at it' now, both for the thesis and the blog. :-)
