Tomorrow marks the start of the end for my time at university. I have three exams, tomorrow afternoon, Friday morning and Saturday morning. After that I’m home free! Unfortunately karma caught up with my exam timetable this year; whereas last year I only had one exam in the summer that ended on the 22nd of May (which made me the earliest finisher of the 10,000 undergraduate students!) I’m going to be one of the last to finish this year, with most of my friends having been finished for some time now. Never mind, no point complaining about things I can’t control, but roll on the summer!
Similar to most students I tend to have become the master of procrastination after my four years at uni. Exams to revise for? Hey, that’s nothing, there’s IPS Driver Errors happening on the site and script kiddies continue to pound the servers with DoS and DDoS attacks...scrap revision, I need to sort this out! Oh, and then the creators of DotA, the very popular free multiplayer map for Warcraft 3 had the cheek of releasing a huge update to the game late last night. How am I meant to get any revision done while some of my friends continue to pester me about epic changes made to the latest version that I must check out? It’s tough.
But I digress, I’d hate to have gotten in to the standard student debt scenario without anything to show for it, and indeed I’m already in good stead to come out of university with a good degree, so I’ve got to try and ignore the distractions and focus on the task at hand. Having said that, hopefully people have been experiencing less issues in the past 3 or 4 days than before. I’ve tightened up security further on the server which pre-empts plans for quite a big overhaul of the entire site over the coming months.
What’s in store after I’ve finished these exams? A holiday, that’s what. I’m off to Portugal the following Saturday for a week’s rest with friends. Prior to that I’m hoping to roll out the new rating system on the site and outline further plans for the site that I hope everybody will welcome, including increasing the size of the staff here. No applications necessary (please!), as Plato once taught, people who don’t want power tend to be the best at dealing with it.
If you have exams coming up then good luck to you.
