So proud-It has been a great, long journey, full of amazing ‘ out of uni’ experiences, meeting and working with some great folk, David being one. A lovely tribute Euan.♥️
And just like that, the longest undergraduate degree in history has come to an end. Genuinely loved doing my dissertation.
Of all the folk that had teased me for my lack of graduating, I’m so sorry that David isn’t here to see the end.
