In a break from my Trip of a Lifetime postings…
IEE Competition
The results are through from the competition I entered my paper into and I didn’t win, or get a runners up prize (which was the one I was aiming for). But, they did give feedback on all of the papers entered and I’m very proud of the positive feedback I got, especially after reading the feedback for all the other entries as well.
It reads as follows…
Benjamin Tola Francis
Digital Convergence in a Connected World
The Judges felt that, although this entry was not of degree standard, it
contained a well developed argument with a clear purpose and a natural
flow, was interesting to read, with a good structure. On the whole the
Judges were impressed with this entry and the thorough research that had
gone into the essays production. The Judges noted that the topic was of
general and wide interest and, although the essay is not particularly
technical, it offers quite a grand vision and suggested that, with some
editing, the paper may be suitable for publication.
University Accommodation
I’ve been put in Maple Bank, Block 4 Flat 28. It was one of my choices and was completely refurbished this summer. However, it is 2km away from campus which is quite a long way to run in my dressing gown to get to a lecture! Seriously though, it’s all starting to feel very real. Now I just have to find over three grand to pay for it.
Back to our normal programme
Yes, I am actually back from my Trip of a Lifetime (after three weeks, 7 countries and 26 trains) but you haven’t heard the last of it yet!! Oh no. I still have lots of entries to copy to my blog, some of them are almost interesting. Now stop complaining about me flooding blog planet sites with travel entries and embrace the democratic publishing medium that is the Internet and damned well read it!
