Bachelor...at last :)


Well, today I finally did it.
Congrats to me - I am a bachelor in International tourism.After a year and a half delay:P
I had an exam where I had to present my graduation thesis "Project of a youth hostel in Veliko Turnovo" in front of all the professors in my faculty.
I was pretty scared as I have never taken my university studies too seriously and I thought I might be "caught in the act".Besides - who knows what professors can do when they are not in the mood.
Luckily for me I was number 17 out of 18 people, so the examinors were a bit tired and bored already - they were not so much into asking lots of questions.
Yesterday I was discussing with a friend if marks matter in this case and he said he is convinced that he must have an excellent mark, as this for him was somewhat of a battle, a victory.Well, for me in this case it was not a battle, as there were no rules and no honourable rivals. I really have lost my respect of my Univeristy as an institution and all my illusions were gone the very first semester:(So I just considered this final exam as some responsibility, something that i have to do, not even a challenge I have to overvcome. It was a game of patience and politeness, rather than honour and bravery.
If I have to be honest, the whole presentation was rather interesting, I listened to 16 projects, and most of them really had value in them. The most valuable part was the discussions that arose within the examination panel and among the public.They made me feel in a real academic environment and wish we had discussed more while i was actually studying at this university.
The really practical value of the whole exercise was that I put down my ideas of a youth hostel. Seems that it is going to connect the things that I feel dearest to my heart - art and communicating with people all over the world:)
My true desire is to see it functioning one day
