Exams are over!

Had the last one yesterday, so they're over for another semester. Not quite for the year, I know I'll have some more in a couple of months. Oh well. Seeing as I don't have to go back to uni until the 19th of July, I'll just enjoy the freedom 'til then (and try and finish some of the items on my list that was part of a previous post).

Eurobeat - Almost Eurovision

I went along with my family and friends to Eurobeat last night - it was fantastic!! It is so much fun, and it is hilarious! Our table had to support France (which finished with no points, oh well) and we voted for Ireland, who won (yay! and it was their first win too). You could meet the cast afterwards as well, I got a couple of autographs, including Julia Zemiro's - she was great to talk to, incredibly nice. (She mentioned that after the World Cup that there was 10 episodes of RocKwiz left, and then they had to wait to see if SBS commissioned another series. They better!) I also purchased the CD, and it is already on my notebook :)

So, if you get a chance, go see it! It finishes this week in Melbourne, and is moving to Adelaide, Perth, Sydney and Canberra. You can visit the website at www.eurobeat.com.au. I'm hoping it comes back to Melbourne at some point - I'd love to see it again!!

My plans for after exams

I always make plans for during the breaks from school and now uni. Rarely, however, do I actually follow them through. So I though, for once, that I'd post them up for the world to see, and perhaps that might make a difference (or not...). Anyway I want to try to:-

- Finish and upload Millenion Inc.'s website
- Design, finish and upload Langwarrin Pony Club's website
- Design, finish and upload MondaysDayroom.com (a planned Keys to the Kingdom/Garth Nix fansite)
- Write the script for the short film idea thats been floating around in my head for a few weeks now
- Convert the family home videos to DVD
- Work enough to pay for the digital camera, uni fees, uni books and a PDA

How many weeks is the midyear break again? I did originally have learning JavaScript and AJAX on the list, but I took it off, seeing as I get to learn it next semester in Website Authoring, a unit I'm really looking forward to :)

Exams

...are not fun. I had Business Statistics today, and I must admit that I wasn't nearly as nervous as I was going into the VCE exams. I'm guessing thats because there isn't as great a pressure, but also could be due to the fact I'm getting used to it(? Is it possible to get used to exams? I don't know). Must admit the train trip to Caulfield and back was not too bad, re-read lecture slides on the way up and the Herald Sun on the way home with a White Hot Chocolate from Gloria Jeans - yummy! As for my other exams, I have Business Law (gasp!) on Wednesday, Accounting Thursday (at Clayton, what a pain...) and I.T. in Organizations the Thursday after that. I like the fact I have a week to study for that.

Anyway, I'm going to see Eurobeat on Saturday! It was co-written by a friend-of-a-friend (Craig Christie) and is a send up of the Eurovision Song Contest. It is also co-hosted by Julia Zemiro a.k.a the host of Rockwiz, the-girl-from-the-Melbourne-ads (not the ones with John So, I know thats Livinia Nixon) and she has been on 'Thank God You're Here' - an awesome show, hope they make another series! I'm so excited, I can't wait! Work was very nice and gave me leave at a weeks notice :)

Well, I'm going to go now, 'Enough Rope' is on, another show I love, not sure who is on it tonight though, guess I'll find out soon enough...
