Awards!!!

I received my award for my thesis last night at the annual awards banquet for the engineering college. It was nice to be recognized for my achievements as I put a lot of work into the thesis research. It was hard, but I really enjoyed it all. The fact that I enjoyed it so much makes me really want to consider doing the PhD program. Mrs. Black Dilbert is considering getting her PhD as well so maybe we can be study buddies. Hmm... The Dr. Black Dilbert's doesn't sound too bad.

Secret Revealed...

So I teased you a week or so ago with the promise of some upcoming news... Well the news is....

As you know I decided (at the last minute) to write a thesis to complete my Master's degree. It took a lot of work and a lot of sleepless nights, but I completed it. All the time I put into it has come back to me because I have won an award for my thesis! That's right, Black Dilbert can be considered an "Award-Winning Author" now. My thesis was named the "Outstanding Master's Thesis of 2007" for the Computer Science & Engineering department. I was very shocked when my supervising professor sent me an email with the news two weeks ago. It was very hard to not share it and tell the world as I am very happy about all of this.

The professors have been telling me that I need to come back for the PhD program and I think they might be right... Who am I to deny the future software engineers of the world the opportunity to learn from an "Award-Winning Author" haha!!

On another note, my supervising professor has just been offered tenure so the good fortune is all around these days.
