    School's finally done! YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS!

    So damn happy to be out of that place.

    Also, I just emailed Glasgow and asked them to switch me to Electronic & Software Engineering, with the intention of switching to pure Software Engineering as soon as I possibly can. Can't believe I've spent the full year dedicated to trying to get the grades for Strathclyde Mech Eng only to have had a change of heart in the final few weeks.

    I'll still be in uni to keep you company

    Although hearing what greater and better things people are going on to do is a bit depressing :bebored:
