Milestones

This week saw two milestones achieved.

The first was that the new Veganicity brochures finally went to the printers. They’ve been in development for several months and at various points through the process it has seemed like they’d never be finished. But, if it’s not right now it’s too late! Of course, now that’s done it means that the website needs updating, there’s a trade version to do, all sorts of things…

The second milestone was that “The Educational Worth of Formula Student” - my friend Paul’s thesis for his doctorate - also finally went to print. This has been dragging on longer than the Veganicity brochure, as we did the first round of final formatting back in March of this year. Since then, it’s gone back and forwards to his supervisors and had bits added and bits taken away. I’ve read the thing at least five or six times and, whilst it was interesting the first time, I’m glad to see the back of it now (although not half as glad as Paul is, I’m sure).

What’s been made obvious to me over the course of the work on the thesis is that if Sussex University is typical of universities in the UK these days, it’s a wonder anyone learns anything. Two supervisors have - at least as far as I can see - worked tirelessly to contradict each other throughout the course of this project, and when it finally gets to adjudication they both get contradicted! Doesn’t give you much hope for the future really.
