Well it would seem an entire year of Uni has flown by, it went pretty quickly. All that's left to do are two exams, but all lectures have finished. That leaves me with a bit of time on my hands, from now until late September. I think I'm going to have to get a job I could do with the money and it's better than doing nothing for months.

The first year of Uni has been mostly uninteresting with exception to two lectures namely Operating Systems and Networks and the harder Computer Architecture. Everything else has been stuff I already know such as Web Dev with HTML and Web Dev with PHP, incredibly basic and boring stuff like an Introduction to Programming with Java and Introduction to Object Orientated Programming with Java and stuff I just really didn't want to know like Systems in Organisations and Systems Analysis.

In defence the first year is a common year that all computer and computer science student take regardless of course. Next year should hopefully be more tailored to my chosen degree software engineering.

Performance wise I have been doing rather well, mostly A's with a few B's so far but then again like I said before, it's a common year and it's designed with the purpose of bringing everyone up to scratch - even those who can't use computers. So nothing too hard has been thrown at us yet but I expect that to change next year.

In conclusion I have rather enjoyed the first year, it's certainly been a nice change from the 8am to 5pm work routine of last year. I have only been going in for two days a week and was only there for an hour or two most days - I had a tendency to miss the lectures that I saw no point in attending a bad thing to do I know but my grades prove skipping them didn't matter . I have made some good friends too Lee, Andrew and Nick. Two out of three are Linux users so I can't complain . Of late me and Lee have been frequenting a pub after (sometimes before) lectures which I have enjoyed, there has been some good beer on indeed. Yep all in all, not bad

Good to hear you are doing well and enjoying it, and I am sure it will get harder lol. Pubs are always good, only 2 months until I can go to pubs (legally lol)...time does fly indeed.
