#honours degree

09.04.20

Today has been hard to sit and work, brain’s been more overactive than usual. I’ve sat and worked in 15 minute blocks where possible, the mind map is still a big work in progress, and then took a break to repot some of the little baby cuttings I’ve had starting to bud.

Some good news is my university have lifted the late penalty for the first five working days of overdue work, technically giving everything a week extension as the capped grades will not take place.

Today I'm feeling determined with a residual smackering of concern.

Now, don't be alarmed, I'm just five days from my deadline for handing in my honours paper.

I have been editing places back and forth to tighten it up .... but in saying that I've also been avoiding the conclusion for about a week.

I can't wait to feel that relief of being done, however, I'm still feeling that baby level of pressure and worry, that voice in my head that says "be careful, stay focused"

As I still have 5 days, I'm feeling good.... I also have to photograph my work and make sure the photos are of good quality so yeah, extra tasks to complete.. all these little ends to tie up and I just feel on edge. I am determined and feeling good and on edge and I'm ok, don't worry about me. I just wanted to share and vent.

I'm still alive, I have almost made it.

In 9 days we have the exhibition, excitement!!! A little bit of everything. I must remember to breathe

Well yesterday I graduated from university, I always used to hate formal occassions because I hated how I felt when wearing a suit - hips were a bane with suits! But yesterday was amazing! It was one of the best days ever and to celebrate it with friends and family, to be graduating as Daniel and to not get misgendered was fantastic. When starting university 3 years ago I was under my old birth name, and hoped that by the time graduation comes around I would have changed my name, be happy and be on Testosterone. Well thankfully! I managed all 3! I changed my name legally in February 2016, I'm the happiest I've been in years and I've been on Testosterone for 3 weeks so I can safely so I've done what I wanted to achieve in 3 years and now as a graduate with a Bachelor's honour degree in Policing and Criminal Investigation 📚🎓 This by no means is the end, who knows I may come back to do a masters degree, and I've got so many things to look forward to ahead of this with my personal journey on Testosterone and to see what career I settle into :) Dan x

...I got my final grade for my course.

Hi guys, i checked my results for my BSC hons course this morning.. I was expecting I'd probably get a 2:1 as I didn't think I'd done that well on my Product development module..however ........ ..I loaded up the screen to see the words

.................. .............. ........... 'FIRST CLASS HONOURS'..;0 I honestly couldn't believe it when I first saw those words.. I was so shocked..I reloaded the page to make sure there wasn't a mistake..but it was right..

I have a first class honours degree..The best possible degree classification available.. I don't believe it 0.0.. ... YAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I actually cried a little in happiness a little while after I found out .and I don't generally do that (the only time I tend to cry is when I'm overly stressed, angry or really upset). ..and to think on a number of occasions on my course I was so overwhelmed with anxiety and depression and panic that I said I wanted to quit and nearly did.;0.. .... This is something I've always wanted to achieve after hearing about my Uncle's first class honours degree in history..but I wasn't ever 100% sure that I could definitely achieve it.. My grades were mainly in the 70s per module with the exception of my database module which I knew I'd just scraped through at 40%...

I'm still in shock. ..

I owe a great thanks to my parents for encouraging me and advising me on my work when I got stuck, some of my lecturers and some of my friends online, also for their kind words and encouragement..without which I would never have accomplished this.. <33

First week of May 2017 as a med student

Monday 1st: Attended my graduation ceremony with beloved honours friends. Also got to see other postgrad med friends graduate with their previous degrees

Tuesday 2nd:  AM- woke up with a throat that felt like it had been scraped with a cheese grater. Still went to class PM- uploaded and looked through other’s graduation photos instead of studying for musculoskeletal module test Wednesday 3rd:  AM- woke up feeling like death, but still went to class because of FOML (fear-of-missing-lectures) PM- tried past exam papers for musculo, couldn’t answer half the questions Thursday 4th: Felt better than the days before, but skipped class to study the hell out of musculo Friday 5th: AM- found musculo practical skills test easier than expected. Still made some really stupid mistakes, especially in the Human Anatomy Lab section PM- Studied with friends for the musculo theory test. Sat test. Survived test. Peer pressured to go out for post-test drinks Saturday 6th: AM- woke up coughing and called in sick for work. Went to get a blood-test to see if I’d developed immunity for hep B yet PM- should be catching up on all the digestive module lectures missed on Thursday, but am currently writing up a Tumblr post instead
