The Reality of it all

The whole uni thing has struck me in the face. I forgot how much fun it was to have constant assessment, saturday exams and having to actually pay attention for hours on end is. Besides all those normal fellings of apprehension, things are going ok at the moment. I have a biology exam in about 3 weeks at 1pm on a saturday so that will be fun. I also have another exam on a thursday for physics which I am not looking forward to. Its all questions like" What is the maximum velocity a dolphin will obtain if it jumps out of the water at 35 degrees and into a pot of custard bla bla bla". It is supposed to physics for the real world but I don't know what world these people live in.
Well thats all the whining over for now. The wholes uni concept is not so foreign anymore-the buses, the libraries, the boredom. The hardest thing is coming home and trying to study.
There has already been a dropout from the course. I'm hoping to do alright but tonight I've been good and bad. The good-studying physics and biology for 3 hours. The bad-having a beer or two and messing around on the internet. I have an 8am lecture tomorrow and am working tomorrow night so not too much shenanigans tonight I'm afraid.
We have thrown caution to the wind and have bought a new car. It is a new forester and is getting done up for us this week. It is El's car to replace the pulsar which is going to her brother. We thought if we aren't going to have much money, we may as well be silly about it and get a nice shiny new car(its blue).
As El promised I have the giant drop photo here. It is slightly out of focus but you can get the general idea. Our group is the six people from the left.
Will post more as everythjing develops.

Having just been in labour, I have to agree that El does look that way! Congratulations on the purchase of your new car too guys. Good luck with the study Geoffo.
