Well, the G20 sumit wasn’t as big a deal for me as I would have liked it to be, not that I was trying to comit suicide by protester or anything, but I was not in the office close to the action.

To explain; in my previous post I mentioned that we were asked to work in a different office, away from the exchange, and wear casual clothing. Unfortunately due to the fact that I’m a contractor at work I don’t have a photo ID so I wasn’t allowed in the main building due to security and had to go to another one.

Anyway, on to the photos. There was a protest march which passed by one of the other work offices where I was and I’ve also shamelessly stolen pictures off twitter/twitpic. Oh there was another token turn out on the next day at the main office which I have photos of.

NB: Sorry, I realise I over hyped this!

So here I am and I just had my last exam today, yay, it’s also the first post I’ve made since I started university. I’m so amazed that the below prediction came true.

Anyway, if by some chance you stumble across this epic blog you’ll probably notice a flurry of postings in the next couple of weeks and then it will die off as a realise I don’t really want to tell the whole world what I’m doing.

Anyway, as an update on my plans:

1. I’ve handed in my resignation at work and I finish some time August, the finish date is a little hazy as it depends on whether they can’t live without me want me back for awhile as a contractor.
2. I’ve applied for my Visa to travel to the UK, I should have a done so earlier but it should still arrive before I leave my job.

So I’m back at university now, over 4 years after leaving and here’s how it happened:

At the end of 2003 when I had two papers left to finish my degree I deciding, screw that, I’m sick of university I’m going to get a job! Amusingly it took my until of May 2004 to get a job so I could have done summer school and finished my degree, hindsight is ~20/20.

Anyway, I since I’ve decided to move to the UK to live/work later this year I thought wouldn’t it be smart to have a degree. I worked it all out with work, got the time per week I needed off and today this is where I was:

Standing in front of the lecture theatre wondering how I missed all the attractive girls my last time around at university, no really.

Well apart from the eye candy it should be a good semester, I have one useful and one interesting subject and I’m looking forward to getting better grades than I did my first time around.
