So I'm finally done with my masters and I've finished the induction course for my new job in Japan. I'm just waiting for my work visa to be processed and then I'm ready to go back to Tokyo. I don't fly out until October 31st, so I've quite a bit of down time between now and then. I was hoping that I'd be completely free of work and stress, but I have one more little thing still to do.
You see, I got some great news there yesterday: I found out that my research paper won a little bit of an award. You could have knocked me down with a feather. I'm so pleased. I really feel that it validates the hard work and long hours that I put into the study, and it vindicates me not getting a part-time job and really focusing on the masters.
Part of the award is that my work will get published (in a periodical that about three people read, but no matter), so it means that I have to now write an overview of my research. It should really be no problem, and it's certainly nothing negative. It just means that I've a little bit more work to do before I'm a totally free man.
All in all, it's a great ending to a great academic year.
