System error preventing celebrations

Two nights ago my final university assignment for my Masters in Education (International Education) was due for submission. I had been counting down the weeks, and then days until this moment would arrive! I sacrificed some very valuable DVD watching time to read through journal articles and write 6000 words of seemingly sensible ramblings about education in Uganda. And now I’ve made it to the end!

I want to celebrate the end of my university days – this is my fourth university course and I would love to say my last university assignment ever! However I feel I need to hold off on celebrations until I have actually submitted my assignment. Due to some silly conflict in submission dates between Turnitin and the university online portal, the system is down – it has been down for the past two days. I’ve covered my butt though: I rang IT Help Desk; emailed my completed assignment to my supervisor, head of subject and head of the course; forwarded IT emails to the same people; and rang IT again today.

Still awaiting for the systems error to be corrected before I can actually submit my assignment and celebrate the end of this journey!
