Batmans a scientist. So am I.

Ok, the last post should have gone up ages ago but i was stuck on a top 5 list. Anyway

I PASSED MY EXAMS, IM A GOD-DAMN SCIENTIST

Yes, as you can see. I am now done with uni, i graduate with a Bachelor of Computer Science. It took me a year longer than i thought it would, but it feels so good. I have been smiling since i found out.

Ive been wokring all day so i dont have much to report.
Bagels don't really toast, they just kind of boil & burn. Its weird.

Man, Kramer is a jerk.

Anyway, I PASSED.

Difficult takes a day. Impossible takes a week.

Ok, this is the definitive guide to what was one awesome weekend.
Friday:
The weekend starts, after work on friday, even work was good because for the first time ever i got to have a beer with work.
Why? You ask.
Because I had walked there from Gran's. Because Dean, Lisa, Joel & Mitchell had come down, so i had spent most of the day playing with them. After work i went back to play with them, then Alana came over and we had a baked dinner. After the dinner when my cousins had gone to sleep, Lana and I went to see 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan'. A really funny movie.
*Side Note: Borat stays at the same hotel that Lana & I did in New York, the fabulous Wellington Hotel. *
Anyway, Lana went home and I went to bed.
Saturday:
Got up at 7, which isn't great, but it was so I could be ready in time for the train to go to the RACES. After some mucking about getting there, which really didn't affect the day at all, we got there at eleven, and the drinking began. At first it was light beer, till 12:30, which sucked but oh well. Anyway, of the 8 races we won on 6 and of those 2 were winners (One picked by Gamblor himself).
At about 5:30, after we backed the second winner and the races were done we tried to figure out a game plan. First was an attempt to get into the Parramatta Rydges, we didn't because we lost interest. SO we went back to the 'fern. Had a few drinks there. Blake blew the roof of with a rendition of 'Without Me' by Eminem. Then we kicked on to the 'Tradies'. Here the night wound down, as we had been drinking for 13 hours. I found my brother and got a lift home.
Sunday:
Work sucks. But after work Lana came over. She bemoaned me stealing her friends. Which i clearly have not. Anyway we hung out for a while then she had to go home. After this Blake asked me to drive him & his GF home, cus he had had a few drinks. I did and we passed a cop car on the way, two minutes later he comes up behind me, pulls me over, tries to threaten me with a fine and breath tests me. To quote Will Smith 'Im a nice guy, why ya'll harassin me for?'.
Thus ends one kick ass weekend. I know it only the start of things to come once i quit my weekend job.
