finally I submit my dissertation last thursday. It was a really tough process for 2-3 months working on that dissertation. Now I am waiting the results which will be ready at November.

Now, I will return to Bahrain to start my new life. seeking for a job and building my career.

before leaving Manchester after two days from now, I am just relaxing and trying to enjoy my time. It is hard to move directly from a stressful time to a relaxation moment. however, trying to do some coding make me enjoying this time.

If anyone know any company have available vacancies, please let me know to help me to minimize the unemployment time.

These days I am planning for my next semester course modules. Because we should plan for the next semester courses from now. We can chose courses under Business school but we should take a permission from the course lecturer. Because of that I am planning to take courses from our available courses.

It’s too hard to think about that when you get overloaded with a lot of  assignments to do now. You have it from the beginning of the course but you keep delaying it until it is the time to submit it! I used to do that before and these days I feel like I have no time to do anything! sometimes I keep persuade myself that I can do it in time.

Added to that, I have to do a lot of reading to chose my dissertation topic. We have a meeting with some people from around the university and they will talk about their interest and we can chose one of the topics as our dissertation topic or we can give them an idea and they may accept it.

Sooner or later I will start my dissertation planning. I hope some of the books I bought about how to write a dissertation will help me to complete the phases without any problem. I consider Web 2.0 and e-Government as the main topics for now. But I may change these topics when I listen to the people from the university.

I talk about a lot of things today. starting with problem with postponed some responsibilities and ending with my dissertation. what about you? what do you feel at the end of the semester? do you think sometimes you feel that there is a hard pressure over you? or you are doing your assignments day by day?

Thanks for reading.

I don’t choose my Dissertation topic yet and I have to wait until next month when our school will give us a list of topics to choose from.

The main problem I faced around is the problem of reading. yes, It’s reading. When I was doing my Bachelor I didn’t read a lot of books. Just read the slides for the any course and I can get around 80%. They don’t teach us how to write a good report or how we can use the library to search for information. They just want us to pass the exams and get our degree and that’s it.

You may hear a lot of talking about the Universities ranking and how our universities in the middle east weren’t on the first 500!!. When I read some articles that discuss why our universities weren’t on the first 500 I laugh. They are talking about the difference between the western countries and the eastern countries (That’s us). They say that in Arab countries we are focusing on teaching students rather than doing researches. And the ranking was not taking that into consideration! oh my god!! Do you want them to make standards for every university? or taking into consideration that our lecturers don’t really want to do any researches?

If the students like me. don’t get any course about how to write an Academic reports? how can that help us to improve our learning systems?

Today I am going to talk about system. It’s not an IT system. In this country everything work with the system.

for example, I went two week ago to register with a doctor. I finish the registration process but they did not gave me any information about my doctor and how can I call him and etc…

This week, I find a card in my mail box contains all information which I need about my doctor. my NHS number, the doctor number and a lot of information. It’s great !! they are working well to manage all of that.

Do you find yourself in a situation that university has changed the room of your lecture and you have to move between buildings to get the new room? and they did not tell you about that before?

This happened to me here! but how can they do that!!. Just when I returned home and checked my university email box. They sent an email before the lecture about the new location. Nowadays I check my email before went out to the lecture. YES they have a system and I know that they will tell us if they change the lecture to somewhere else.

Wait, It doesn’t mean that I live in a heaven now. But at least It’s better that how they manage something like that in Bahrain. Also, there are a lot of problems here. Maybe I will talk about them in my next posts.

Hope to see you soon.

It’s a comfortable way of transportation. Also, you don’t have to wait a lot of time in the traffic lights. you always get the green light.

I think somehow In Bahrain we must have a railway to help the employees and students to move from area to another without the problem of traffic jams. That’s also can prevent and decrease the amount of pollution.

Do you think you must have a railway in your country ?
