After (Rick)

I slacked off for a few days after my first two exams, and went home for my brother’s birthday and helped out with getting ready the food and cleaning the house. When I came back I properly got back into study and read through my Introduction to Programming text book. I had that exam on Friday and then did all the study I needed for my last exam, Scientific Programming and Simulation in the few days before Tuesday.

For the last few days I’ve been going to bed late, just playing video games and watching movies, and the occasional reading of some geeky topics on Wikipedia. (What happens is I go to read one article, but then notice other related articles, and open them up in different tabs. Eventually I get to the stage where I start to feel I’ve had too much and then just read over things only checking out related articles if it seems really, really, really interesting.)

Last night I went to the Science Students Societies end of exams party. I went there by myself but knew of some other people who were planning to go, and also assumed there would have to be someone I’d know. Also, Jez here said he’d be coming. When I got there almost straight away I walked into the one person who’s doing the same subjects as me, who had brought a friend along who was in year 12 this year, but had forgot their ID, and thus had to go home. (They did have one, just sounds like it could be dodgy.) In the toilets some older guy started talking to me, and then introduced me to almost the entire Science Students Society executive. I then bumped into the guy I knew again, and joined the last part of the tour. We then found some others that I knew doing science (but all different subjects), and had a small chat. After having some dances I ran into Jez and met some of his mates. It was good because it gave me another group to dance with if I wanted to. Eventually my other friend had to go home because he had to catch the train and I hung out until the event finished at 3:40am. Overall it was a fairly good night, but for me having music that loud just seems to make it too hard to talk, both because it’s a struggle to say anything and I just can’t seem to make out what anyone is saying for the hell of me. Anyway, this morning I went to bed at 6:30 just because my ears were ringing for so long from the loud music.

Now to get packing and go back home.
