Well, you wait ages for a barbecue and then two come at once. Thanks a lot to Sarah for organising the cookout, cookup or cook-whatever direction it is this evening, for preparing the best brownies to have ever existed, and making sausage-cheese-(and unfortunately sand-)balls. Also Bryn, for her expert burger-flipping.
It's sort of hit me that my second year of University is over. That's half my entire University career! Last year at this time, just after my last exam, I made a list of the achievements I'd made and the momentous occasions of the last year. Let's see what I can remember...
In no particular order, I have:
What about yourselves? Actually, that could become some sort of pseudo-meme. Pass it on!
It's sort of hit me that my second year of University is over. That's half my entire University career! Last year at this time, just after my last exam, I made a list of the achievements I'd made and the momentous occasions of the last year. Let's see what I can remember...
In no particular order, I have:
- Met many new people, all of whom are great, many of which are leaving next year.
- Discovered a liking and talent for DDR. The value of this is up to you to decide. Unfortunately, also got to like rather a lot of the songs on it.
- Got back in to music writing, and been very pleased with the results and feedback on my compositions. Over 17,000 downloads in total now!
- Found that even though I thought I was insane, there are people who are like me, and knowing that has made me feel more secure about myself and the way I am.
- Written a great work of fiction in the form of my answers to the CH2102 exam.
- Got myself out of the depression that lasted for a lot of last year.
- Started my second serious relationship, this time what I feel is a truly loving one.
- Bought a really nice dressing gown.
- Finally got a computer that is capable of running things made after 1998.
- Been a witness at the wedding of two of my greatest friends who helped me get through last year a lot. And it was the first friends' wedding I had been to as well...
- Remained steadfastly teetotal.
- Decided to change my degree from joint Chemistry and Computer Science to just the latter.
- Compiled an all-new quote log (still growing!), and put the Quotebook-2 online.
- Got a pendrive of which I'm immensely proud. It saved the Chemistry paper.
- Been utterly driven mad by the lower primates that inhabit the other end of my corridor.
What about yourselves? Actually, that could become some sort of pseudo-meme. Pass it on!
