Freedom!...or is it?
After 4 years, 1,460 days, 35,040 hours, 2,102,400 minutes and 126,144,000 seconds - I have finished University!...Or have I? What was supposed to be my last exam this morning was cancelled due to the recent strikes. It's a strange sensation, I feel like I should be free, yet there is this niggling uncertainty - will I graduate? Will I get a lower mark? Will they reshedule this exam?
There's about 7 weeks to fill until the rent runs out on my residences (49 days to be exact) so I now challenge myself to do something constructive each day and I will document the next 7 weeks right here on the blog (and any further exams I may or may not take). Any summer activity suggestions, let me know.
I already have a few plans however - listen to a new piece of music I'm not familiar with every day, search through the backlog of Guardians that have built up under my window, visit Nick Drake's grave, apply for jobs, and fly to Zurich. I have plans! But do I?
See Matt Cryer who will also be documenting his final days of freedom.
...but will he?

Hey Dave,
Good plan for you...
Go down to Cardiff and watch Leeds make their way towards ascendency in the Premiership again!
Yeah i'd love to ideally, just a tad too expensive. Will be sat in a bar as usual!
I've got a summer activity for you:
Go to Jyoti's restaurant in Spark Hill - the best place i have ever eaten. Its pure vegetarian Indian food, all cooked from fresh. Jamie Oliver goes there every year when he's in town for the BBC good food show, and they have photos to prove it. It won best restaurant in Birmingham in 2003 and its amazing value - basically the same the price as a regular balti. Its on Stratford road. (Take me with you if you go!)

Interesting...I'll definitely have to check that out! I have an Indian housemate who cooks the greatest vegetarian curries, if theyre as good as that ill love it!
Spark Hill's great, so much better than Manzils!
