The Last Semester

If all goes according to plan, this will be my last semester for my Master's. I only have my thesis to finish plus one class in telecommunications and networking. The thesis proposal is in its hopefully final draft and being reviewed by committee with the hopes of doing the proposal defense in the next few weeks. From there, I'll be starting the final research phase, and it's looking like it'll be a lot of fun.

The telecommunications course could either have lots of new things for me to learn, but it's largely a review of old hat things like networking basics. I'm hoping we get into more of the telecommunications side at some point since it's one area I haven't had to learn in my career.

It's hard to believe that I am so close to being finished, and I'm looking forward to it!
