Drs. Lou

The end of the studies that I hated for so long! Yes people, in 2006 I graduated! Finally! It was no big secret that I had a big aversion for the International Business studies that I was doing at the University of Maastricht. No motivation led to procrastination after procrastination and somehow the end was never in sight.
After deciding that I wanted to move to Japan and work as an English teacher there, I was faced with the fact that I needed a University degree to get a Japanese working visa. Finally, I found myself motivated to work hard to finish those wretched studies and got to work on my Master thesis.
After a fair amount of literature research, I came up with a very interesting thesis topic that allowed me to vent some of my frustration with the field of economics and business. After two months of thesis research and writing and countless allnighters, the thesis was finished and even handed in a couple of days before the deadline! What a weird feeling it was to actually be finished with my studies.
During the graduation ceremony my supervisor gave a very nice speech about me and my favorite quote from his speech: "Louana's thesis is a beautiful piece of work which may even be published in a good scientific journal. Which is why her thesis was graded with a 9; something which rarely happens. It is clear: Louana is a very talented and intelligent student". And I was pretty damn proud of myself: drs. Lou ;).
