Just Beyond The Bridge

Done

Sunday, June 12, 2005

I started a blog entry last night, but the end of exams celebration ended up getting in the way, and when I arrived back to my computer it wasn't exactly capable of witty script and so closed the window and went to bed.

Yesterday I rose early to get some last minute revision done before 'going over the top'. After breakfast I headed over to the exam hall, took my seat and wrapped up a whole year's worth of electronics in pretty much 3 hours flat. And how good it felt to finish. I think the actual paper went as well as could be expected, but trying to pin even a ballpark percentage on it is impossible. Absolutely no idea.

We headed over to a packed JC's bar and I had a swift pint before lunch. The rest of the afternoon I spent in my room chain-watching episodes of 'Lost'. The storytelling is a little patchy in places, and the plot a little slow at times, but it's making for compulsive viewing.

I've got an awesome little java program on my phone that uses Bluetooth to send IM messages (like MSN Messenger). Unfortunately most people still fall into two categories, the first one being they don't have Bluetooth, the second one being they don't know how to use it. This has great practical uses for when in lectures as not only is the service free, it also will bring a whole new level of communication to the aforementioned 'rooms of boredom'.

This morning I woke up at my usual time for a Saturday (far too late) and jumped (I say jumped, but it was more like falling into) the shower. Twenty seconds on I'm reaching for the towel and making an exit at a speed not usually permitted at this time on a weekend. Frigging fire alarm. I quickly threw on some clothes and headed downstairs. Fire alarm switches off. Head back up. Fire alarm sounds off again. Back down. Off. Up. On. Down. Eventually I admitted defeat and went down to brunch which was brimming with other evictees, which meant that I had to wait half an hour for food as I was at the back of the queue.

Last night was pretty good. A fair whack of IDT were out, and I spent most of the evening with Swanny at DeVito's bar socialising. I managed to spend pretty much everything I took out with me, which wasn't the highlight of the evening, but it was amusing to prop up the bar for such a length of time. Rufio managed to get himself chucked out of the Union (admittedly it wasn't his fault; apparently a clerical error), Flash spent most of the night moaning (in an amusing way) and Tongy made an appearance for the first time in a long while.

This afternoon we headed into town to get a sub (The Swan hadn't had brunch) and planned on going for a drink with Jo for her birthday, but upon arriving at Lloyds, found she was no longer there. We headed home via Tongy's pad and much amusement was had over the cassette-powered talking bear he has brought back to uni. After that we bumped into Mockney and Ralph in the park kicking a ball about with Fat Dave. It's good to catch up with both of them as since graduating last year we haven't seen to much in the way of the finalists. Richbrown and Manky are also meant to be about somewhere, but they weren't about today.

I'm hoping to visit the degree show tomorrow. The plan had been to go today, but the visit to town changed things. It's really funny comparing this stuff to the products my department was churning out 10 years ago. I love the back-vac, shame it never caught on. I hopefully will also get a chance to go around the one at the art college too.

Comedy Club tonight was a mixed bag. The compere and first act were pretty shocking. Flash and Butts were so appalled they left at this point, which is a shame, because the headliner was really good. The one saving grace of the night.
