lol I never thought I'd read a thread on these forums that literally seems to be all about the weather [smile]. Just in case people are interested, its min 11 and max 27 degrees centigrade here in Pinetown, South Africa (and yes, this is our winter [smile])

As for what I'm doing, I'm taking an extended break from part time programming. Work (I program vehicle simulators) is taking up all my coding energy so I'm content to play a game or two on my computer every now and then and not much else. To those of you still studying, enjoy it why you can. Its only when you get into the working world that you realise just how much holiday time you actually had when studying.

lol, that depends what you're studying...6 hours of class, 6 hours of sleep, and 12 hours of homework means no time to program...sigh...

Thats true - I remember lots of all-nighters on assignments etc. but I was referring more to holiday time inbetween semesters. I remember that when I was at university I had 2 - 3 months (in total) a year holiday time. Now I have only 15 days leave a year...big sigh... [smile]

Well, right now it's worse for me.
My average school day - well, I'm at University to tell the truth - begins by leaving house at 7:20 to take the train. Almost every day. Sometimes I get back at 20:50 (roughly) so that's effectively 12+ hours. More often however I'll be home for 18:15.

This goes on by three years. This means, it is two years I'm unable to chase my own goals. This badly sucks. For an institution which is aimed towards quality of formation, this is inacceptable. The first year, I tried to develop both my engine and school crap and as a result, I'm now one year late.

However, you get what you can pay for and this is what I can pay for here.

well that kinda sucks, we only had lectures every other day or so between 9:00 and 12:00 and then we worked on our assignments the rest of the time, but we could dispose of that time as we saw fit.
And the last year we mostly worked on projects witch we planned ourselfs.

witch kinda ment that in one of the projects, someone from our 4 man group was allways working on the game we where making.
If i found a bug just before i left for the day, it was fixed the next morning.
