Our uni medalist...

A BIG squeeze, smoochy kiss and round of applause for my special guy! Over the last couple of days Tariq (my hubby) was awarded, not only, his graduation parchment for completion of Honours in a Bachelor of Science (for which he received First Class (graded 85% and above)) but a Chancellors Letter of Commendation (presented for excellence in a single year of study) and a rare and prestigious University Medal (awarded for excellence in grades throughout the extent of the degree).....(ok, just catching my breath)...and yes, tears were shed on my part (albeit very discretely - just so happy!). For those who don't know, Tariq is currently in the throws of his PhD  -"investigating reactive chemical transport (chemistry...aargh) on the hyporeic zone (rivers or something?) by use of numerical models (computer coding...yeah, right!)" - yeah, I have no idea...couldn't even spell it without help - so if you REALLY want to know what its all about...um, maybe wikipedia!?! Anyway, SOOOO PROUD of you babe!!!! (think it deserves a holiday...away...in a 5 star hotel...with me! ;))
