Back to Uni

Well it was fun while it lasted. My 2 months off went slowly and pleasurably. During that time I played a lot of Richard Burns Rally and started participating more in the Friendly-Online-Gamers team. I'm now Game Leader for Richard Burns Rally and Battlefield 2. While I hope to still have the time for a round of BF2 here and there, I dont think it will be possible to keep my speed in RBR. Once the cricket season ends in a month or so I might have some more time to practice on weekends. Also during my "holidays" I started working with a mate from cricket on some of his software. That will hopefully continue throughout the year to bring in some $$ for me.

The year ahead is going to be full on. Final year project will be intense and the peripheral subjects will also take a lot of work. It might actually mean doing more than showing up to lectures and absorbing what's said for regurgitation in tests and exams. I'd say I'll need to pay more attention and start to walk and talk like a software engineer. Maybe not walk like... and come to think of it, not talk like either... but will have to know my shit as after this year there's no more Uni.

This year will put the acid test on how well my year of IBL (work experience) last year prepared me for more full on software engineering applications. To be honest I think DSTO can only prepare you for DSTO. But if I do go back, I'll be pretty well prepared.

I'm looking forward to the year. Also looking forward to resuming the relationship with Uni mates. Should be a fun year and with any luck an educational one.
