Finally recovered enough from a somewhat exhausting graduation day to post. Barring minor hitches, it all went pretty well, and I'm now a proud graduate of Strathclyde University.

I haven't been LJing much recently. Not entirely sure why, since I haven't really found myself short of spare time - just haven't felt like it very much ( Read more... )

Woke up today, and thought "Hmm ... I really want to head onto WoW today, but I really should study."

Then I realised I didn't have to. My last exam was yesterday. As of now, after 18 years of fulltime education, I'm finally done - no longer a student.

I'm a bit lost - what do I do now?

Second exam today - Distributed Systems, basically Communications 2. A bit annoying: not much of what I'd studied came up in the exam, and since you had to pick two out of three questions, the bits that I had studied were invariably linked to stuff I had no clue about. I ended up with a bad question choice - I didn't want to do one question because ( Read more... )

I'm an idiot - why'd I stay up so late last night? Woke up at 7am... then at 9-minute intervals (my phone's snooze is 9 minutes, for some unfathomable reason) thereafter, until about half seven, when I decided to get up and promptly fell back asleep until quarter past eight.

I randomly met one of my old school friends, whom I bump into every few months, and we chatted on the train about the End Of It All (after almost twenty years ( Read more... )

For someone who hates handwriting, I sure do like my pens. It's a tradition - every year, before exams, I buy a few pens. I usually take several pens into the exam with me, and line them up on the desk, like a sort of talisman. And for some reason, during the course of the year, those pens gradually disappear and come the next round of exams, I ( Read more... )

It's eight thirty in the freakin' morning. I've been up since six ... well, actually, I went to bed at six, realised it was getting light, and then couldn't sleep because of the encroaching lightness. When did it start getting light at six again? I think spring has snuck up on me without me noticing - I guess it's that I've been so absorbed in ( Read more... )
