Roll On Summer
And it's you and me in the summertime,
We'll be hand in hand down in the park,
With a squeeze and a sigh and a twinkle in your eye,
As the sunshine vanishes with dark ...
The Sundays, 'Summertime'
Updating under duress. This may not be a proper update, be warned. Am currently suffering from pre-exam wishing-I'd-done-better-in-my-continuous-assessment annoyance. There was a day (Oh happy day! Oh glorious day!) when I was a model student. That day is now gone, and may never come again. Either way, I should be OK for all of my exams, I hope, although it'd be a comfort to actually get hold of some of the marks for my final assignments and so on.
Have also been contemplating the possibility of quite a dull summer ahead. Okay, so maybe it won't be that dull, but I still think everyone I know should turn around and invite me to a cool party, or an enjoyable outing, or a quiet night in, or something. Ignore my fearsome reputation, I'm actually 'basically a nice bloke' (note: that is a joke, some of you might get it) when the surface is scratched (so long as you don't draw blood).
Either way, here is a list of things for me to do over summer:
Hope you all like my list. Expect another update when exams are over on Monday week, at the very least. It may be fairly quiet until then, though.

Either way, here is a list of things for me to do over summer:
- Make flipping great wadges of cash,
- Spend at least a tenth of my time in the ocean,
- Visit the snow-white beaches of Cape Le Grand National Park (it's already set up! Hurrah!),
- Relearn some OpenGL stuff, learn C++ properly, and use the combination to do something that looks pretty (possibly in coalition with Adam),
- Finish writing the Great Australian Novel (okay, write the Great Australian Novel - okay, write anything at all),
- Piffle! (grins abashedly),
- Sort out my final-year project and do lots of useful preliminary work,
- Get a tan, or at least a few new freckles, and get fitter by being less slugly,
- Acquire some new things that I like (some thoughts: a new bike, a scooter (so I can win that bet with Grubb), a CD burner, new clothes, a car, many, many, many new records and books, a tattoo),
- Laze around efficiently (as in get some high-quality lazing done, but not too much of it),
- Teach my little brother to ride a bike properly,
- Dye my hair blue-black again (this I really just need to go and do),
- and last, but not least, spend lots of time with Max, who is fantastic.
Hope you all like my list. Expect another update when exams are over on Monday week, at the very least. It may be fairly quiet until then, though.
