I’m not even sure why I’m writing this, as I don’t actually have anything planned, but now seems as good a time as any to put some words onto the web. Slowly starting to relax here again (Fiji was relaxing, but it was only distracting me from Sydney), now that I’ve finished my last exam (Web Services Development, on Tuesday). I’d like to say everything is over and done, but sadly that is not the case. My last WSD assignment was missing a few files in the submission, and the lecturer emailed everyone last Thursday saying they needed to be resubmitted by last Friday. Alas, I was not in the country either of those days, so was unable to complete his request. So I’ve emailed him twice, but to no avail. Going to have to find a contact number, or something. Slightly worrying.

Oh, I know what I can talk about! So, when I was away, my big boss and I had a bit of a discussion. We were both slightly inebriated at the time, and although it was mentioned in passing after that, I’m not entirely sure it’s really a possibility, but it’s put thoughts into my head, anyway. So we were talking about me heading off to Chile next year, which would mean me leaving the company for at least that time (they seem open to the possibility of having me back afterwards, though, which is very nice). He said he thought that was a stupid idea (he used expletives, but I won’t repeat them here), and that if I was serious about IT then I should go somewhere like Scandinavia. Then he decided he’d go one step further, and offer to set me up with a part-time job, a spot in a good uni, and help find an apartment. In Sweden.

Well, that was a shock! I was almost tempted to say ‘yes’ there and then, but I held back, and I think we’re going to discuss it further in the near future. See, it would be a fantastic opportunity to further my knowledge and everything in IT, and gain some invaluable experience. And hell, Sweden would be pretty awesomely fun, not to mention the rest of Europe! But at the same time, I’ve recently felt like I could do with a good break from studying IT, and Chile would provide just that. Almost a holiday, in a way, but all the while writing some reports and learning another language in a foreign country that speaks said language (Spanish!). A half-holiday, if you wish.

So yeah, I really need a break from what’s happening at the moment. Uni and stuff is just getting way too monotonous. I guess it depends if that break needs to be from IT in general, or just this particular way of going about it. If it’s just this particular way (which I suspect it is in a lot of ways), Sweden would be awesome. But I’m not quite sure.

I know there’s much more to it than that, too, but I’ve lost my urge to write.
