Such is life.

I’ve suddenly remembered why I dislike the summer. The minute I get my holidays life seems to go downhill somewhat. Which should really be impossible considering the year i’ve had. I’m thankful I have San Francisco to look forward to. There’l be enough distractions there to hopefully get me through this summer. This is probably a year to write off anyway. It seems somewhat unfair that a lot of what happened, did happen. But.. such is life I guess.

My greatest friend in the world is finally out of hospital and doing herself proud. Looking forward to catching up on a huge amount of lost time.

Escaping to Cork for a bit of the weekend, catching up with some friends next week. Hopefully all the distractions will continue for the next month. I’d like to keep what’s left of my sanity.

Free

Finished the budget a few hours ago. Guess i’m officially free for a few months. Yay? I’m suddenly reminded of why i’m not a big fan of the summer. It can be quite lonely. People disappearing back home, away for the summer and work. The only nice thing about it is there’s slightly less stress and a bit more freedom. I’m very much looking forward to San Francisco.  LUGradio Live will reunite a nice chunk of Skynet for a weekend. It was a good laugh last year, so, very much looking forward to that too. Bring on July I guess.

Summer approach

“Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all’s right with the world.”

I had one of those days today. A few hours study in the morning, I was then convinced to head down to the river with some friends to sit out in the sun and chat. It was really nice. We sat there for ages with our feet in the water. I hadn’t seen the sun in about a year, so, had forgotten the dangers of sunburn when wearing no sun cream. My shoulders are currently paying for the mistake.

Exams starting on Saturday. The less said about them the better. I’m beginning to dislike my course more with each semester.

My summer is slowly taking shape. So far I have San Francisco/LA lined up. Followed by 2 or 3 days in England for LUGradio Live with a few people from the Computer Society. After that, who knows. Looking forward to seeing my friends in America, although, currently I seem to be more excited about the prospect of being on a 747 for the first time.
