Holidays!

Holidays are here! :D Well, for me, anyway. The exam period for my university ends on the 24th of June or something, but I had all three of my exams in the first two days - very stressful beforehand and during, but a huge relief afterwards. Exams basically went more or less as I predicted. Maths was a horrendous nightmare, and I'm not even sure whether I passed it or not. Web3D and Computing Fundamentals were both fairly easy, though both had questions that I feel will trip up a lot of other people. For Web3D the first question on the exam read "What does VRML stand for?". My first thought - "Bet there's not many people who will know that". For Computing Fundamentals, we had to write a function to determine whether or not a number was a prime, and another to find the factors if it wasn't. Tim was furious over that - he seemed to feel it tested his maths abilities more than his programming abilities :P Either way, the exams are over, there's nothing left to do but sit and wait for results. Also, I got back the marks for the Games Studio assignment - the one where I thought we'd made a bad impression on our lecturer. We got a High Distinction - apparently the use of story in our map was a rare, but pleasing touch. When I need to feel better about myself, I go and look at that e-mail :)

In less happy news, I'm being dragged down to Phillip Island again this weekend, against my will - my mum has decided she wants to have 6 or 7 of her knitting friends over, and there'll be nowhere for me to sleep - one of them even has to sleep in my bed -shudders- . The good news is I get to take my computer down there, so I won't be completely bored out of my skull, but I'll have no Net access (my primary reason for disliking that place is not having the Net). When I get back, there still won't be any rest - RMIT have screwed up my enrolment in maths (again!) so I'll need to zip into the city and get that sorted out. Once that's done, though, I'll have all the remaining time to enjoy. It's possible I'll spend it writing a resume, getting a job, learning to drive and getting my Ps, but it's much more likely I'll spend it on various computer games, and possibly the odd going-out with some of my newfound friends - if they'll have me along. I met up with a couple of Seven the night of the Computing Fundamentals exam, but for most of the time I felt like a fifth wheel - no reason to be there. Years of being the victim of joke friendships by idiots has made it difficult for me to accept friendship easily. As part of the Seven, most of the time I feel in-tune with them, but 'most of the time' consists of games in Sutherland. When it comes to conversation, I just have trouble blending in, contributing, participating. Probably, I just need more experience, and a greater capacity for trust.
