This is why I go around with a happy face

My my my... a lot of things have happened since my last posting and I'm happy to say that "it's all good!" ;-D

First and foremost - I now hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science (yay!) and following that I had a job interview on Wednesday. Today I got a letter saying that they'd like to hire me as of October 1st (double yay!) - Employment contract signed, sealed and in the mail ;-D

Meanwhile, after completing the bachelor, I've also had 10 days of holiday in Berlin, Germany with the hubby. Berlin is an amazing city - very vibrant and yet also very down-to-Earth.
Partially by coincidence, it was the same weekend as the Spreebären (one of the local bear clubs) held their Bearopolis 2007 weekend -- and also the weekend where Folsom Europe 2007 took place in Berlin ... A very exciting weekend...

And of course, I, alongside 20 other bears and admirers, participated in our national Pride Parade on August 25th, where I (of course) sported the overalls I got hold of with help from wonderful fellow LJ bear [personal profile] furrbear. (I even appeared in a photo series about the Pride in Politiken, one of the major Danish newspapers - or at least my backside did :-D )

Congradulations!

I love the "backside" shot. Makes me drool.

Officially on Monday but both of my teachers told me that I had done fantastically on the exams. It sometimes pays to spend extra time there being used as a 'stick dummy'.

(A stick dummy is a volunteer who lets the student phlebotomists practice taking blood. Yeah.. it's a bit draining).

well then... Congratulations should be in order here too ;-D

wrt. being "Stick Dummy" -- you actually let people practice taking blood on you?
I don't mind having blood taken myself, but I think I'd grow tired of it after 3 or 4 times - not to think of those who aren't skilled yet (aka. need the practice ;-D)....

Well some say I'm a saint.. Some say a masochist.

Me I just like a good stiff prick.

when you state it like that, I find it hard to disagree ;-D
