Starting Honours Course

This year I’m starting the honours component of my degree. However, it seems that not too long ago, I sat down for my final exams in 2006, now its a new year, and I’m starting a new program. I don’t think I was quite ready to start again. My predictions after the first week: this is going to be tough.

In first semester I am studying two subjects:

• Distributed Computing
• Network Optimisation

I couldn’t yet do either subject justice in a summary, so I wont try. I am, however, looking forward to the research involved. My project / thesis will rely heavily on the materials covered, so the sooner, the better. More on that another time though.

This will be a challenging year, and normally I’d be jumping at it, but I’m not feeling it this time. Maybe I’m just tired, it has been a busy month. I have always planned to complete the honours program, and that hasn’t changed, I just wish I could be more excited about it.
