About 3 hours ago, I finished my very last exam of my MSci degree: my final final (the final-year exams are often called "finals"). I have no further coursework, so apart from some administrative trivialities, my degree is finished. Hurray!

I shall now be trying to catch up with all the things I've left incomplete over the past few years: my website photo gallery, some books and games, various software projects (including MonoDevelop), a couple of websites I run, and so forth. I will also be enjoying Durham and its surroundings in the wonderful summery weather.

I've just handed in the final version of my MSci thesis! It's the culmination of my fourth-year Physics project on Interpretation of 3D Astronomical Data, in which I was studying a spectral datacube of the NGC 1068 Active Galactic Nucleus, trying to discover the structure and properties of this astronomical object from the redshift and distribution of the spectral emission lines. Sometime soon I will be posting some of the PyRAF and Python datacube analysis code that I developed.

Now I only have to worry about the Project viva, and then three exams from other modules.
