Giving birth and being reborn
After 6 years as an undergraduate student, I have finally handed in my honours thesis:
| Words | 24,000+ |
| Pieces of paper | 62 |
| Thesis pages | 82 |
| Front matter pages | 9 |
| Back matter pages | 24 |
| Chapters | 8 |
| Sections | 33 |
| Appendices | 3 |
| References | 116 |
| Footnotes | 56 |
| Tables | 47 (or 67) |
| Figures | 16 (or 22) |
| Project time in months | 8 |
| Days since starting to write | 110 |
I pity my markers.
And here it is, in case anyone cares: Learning Named Entity Recognition from Wikipedia.
And now, I am reborn. What to do with myself? So much to do with myself. But at least I have time to work it out… =)
Congratulations – reborn, hey? I never felt _that_ much release after honours…

I would say it’s because you knew what you’d be doing after honours, but that would be a lie.
