Off to spend Christmas in The North.

Tomorrow I leave for 5 weeks in Sweden (with a weekend in London). I will make the most of my post uni holiday by spending time in Norrköping, Falköping and Göteborg. I'm looking forward to reading some James Bond on the plane, the cool weather (a chance to use my gloves from Antons) and of course to catch up with special people.

I'm not looking forward to bad airport coffee, running out of laptop batteries at some point during the flight and manky hair.

The song of the weekend is Little Lion Man:

Seven years of robots.

At the completion of seven years of an engineering degree (seven rather than six as I spent 18 months working full time) I guess I should post some form of summary; my thoughts on Computer Science, Robotics, Swinburne, etc. I  don't really have the energy to do that at the moment as I've spent the last few months working flat out on our final year project and a number of assignments, I feel a bit fried. I also think that these thoughts form over time, attempting to tease them out now when everything is so fresh may not lead to anything too valuable.

However, I would like to point out that the best parts of my course were the people that I met. I've worked with people who are infinitely more intelligent than me, much more likeable, and even some with more style. These are people who I would contact straight away if I was about to start a venture, if I needed advice or a question answered, but best of all people who I will always look forward to sharing a drink with.
