Dave's Grumblings

The 3 weeks of pain known as the exam season have drawn to a close, and I’m now two thirds of the way through my degree (summer resits notwithstanding). A scary thought indeed, as it feels like the past two years have flown past. The remaining segment of the course promises to be the most interesting, challenging and important, in equal measure, and I’m looking forward to it moreso than either of the past two Septembers.
A relatively relaxed summer awaits, in the meantime, and it’d be a lie to say that I’m not looking forward to getting home - I can’t fucking wait. Much as I love being in Swansea, and hanging out with all the people I know here, the end of term is when the money and energy runs out (doubly so in the summer term) and I can’t wait for a bit of home cooking and not having to worry so much about finances and bills.
Anyway, on a lighter note, tonight is the fabled annual computer society beach party, and a thoroughly good excuse to get sloshed with like-minded geeks, hackers and department staff. Last year’s party was a mighty event, and (because I’ve had a hand in organising it, of course) with any luck the trend will be continued this year.
Expect photos (via Steve) at some point (hangovers permitting ;) ).
