Hi, folks. I hope I didn't crash-land on anybody.

So this Friday everyone at the office went out for lunch (we ate delicious pizza) to welcome the new employees we have, including new placement students (remember when I was one of those?). The following picture, taken as we returned from lunch, demonstrates the continued professionalism of the operation as much of the office walked down the street eating ice creams.

I approve of everything about this image.

 

Today I received the fabled results letter from University that would declare whether I had succeeded in becoming a real boy or if I had just wasted four years of my life. The good news is I passed! The more shocking news is I got a 1st, which this wikipedia article will tell you is the highest level of degree I could have got. How I managed that, I have no idea. Here are my actual results my module:

- Placement Learning: A-
- Individual Project: A
- Advanced Internet Application Development: A
- Internet Gaming Design and Development: A
- Data Management: C-
- Managing the E-Enterprise: A-

As this picture shows, I got a honours degree in internet computing with sandwich (means I took a placement year). I sure hope its delicious!

 

I was also reminded today that I have a long running bet (for about a year now) that I can't complete Tales of Symphonia before I graduate. If I achieve this goal I will win back a delightful £40 that I lost in a previous bet. Something about not being able to complete games or something. Fortunately I have a whole eighteen days left before graduation, unfortunately I'm informed the game is over seventy hours long, so I better get my finger out.

I will keep this blog updated with how I progress in the Symphonia Challenge (TM). So far I'm about three hours into it and the game seems pretty cool. Wish me luck!
