graduate hat

I just graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from the University of Latvia!

It took me 4 years to complete the studies. During these years I took more than 50 courses from physics, mathematics and computer science departments and my average grade was 9.1/10 (students in Latvia are graded from 1 up to 10, 10 being excellent, 9 being very good, …, 4 being the lowest grade for passing a course. Anything below 4 means failure).

As I already mentioned in the about me page, I chose to study physics because I already had a broad understanding of various topics of computer science. Now I can proudly say that I understand a lot of physics as well.

Here is a picture of me with a diploma in my hands. :)

Here is another picture with all of us who graduated from University of Latvia with a B.Sc. degree in Physics in 2008. I’m right in the middle of the front row!

Talking about my future plans, I decided not to go to a graduate school just yet. I’ll spend the next year or two hacking on whatever interests me the most and learn exactly what I have wanted (more mathematics and more computer science). It also means that I will be able to post more frequently here. :)

Thanks for reading my blog!
