Winding Down Of 3 Years Of.....Something!

Well, once again I have not bothered writing much on here. Dunno why, I always think about it!
So, what has happened in my life since Easter holidays? Quite a lot, but in all honesty, I can't be arsed to go into it! Here is a quick summing up of what I can remember.
-I almost got stressed about the fact I wasn't going to finish my Dissertation due to my own idleness. Got more worried about what my parents would think of me, rather than not finishing the work!
-I got a savior who helped me with my testing and I managed to get my Dissertation in, all be it 25 minutes late.
-I got an extension on a piece of coursework after it was due.
-I have been to a couple of gig's, namely Fairport Convention and A. (both were awesome and I am so glad that I went to them!)
-Also went to an all day gig on Mayday, which was OK, Finch were good.
-Can't remember much else.

I honestly don't remember much of the 5 weeks I have been back at Uni. I have been drunk a fair few times, last Friday and Saturday were the most recent of those to help celebrate the last of my coursework! Both nights were awesome, but I only stands to emphasize one point with me. With the completion of my last ever piece of coursework, my time at Uni is running out. In fact, as of today there are 18 days until I finish my last exam.

This completes 3 years of something, but I'm honestly not sure what.
I have reflected on my past 3 years during the times I was meant to be working on my Dissertation, and I honestly can't say I have achieved much! Sure I have made lots of friends and had an awesome time, but in terms of my education, I don't think I have progressed at all, I am still exactly the same as I was at school. I seem to have the intelligence to do most, if not all, of the work that I am set, but I just can't be bothered. I still leave everything to the last minute because that seems to be the only time I am motivated and seem to do my best work.

Worse of all, I am still the most laid back person ever. Even when I had a few days left until my Dissertation was due, I was still kicking back, having a laugh with friends, taking it easy!
Now don't get me wrong, in most occasions I love the fact that I don't get over stressed and anxious about things. I like the fact that I don't really care what people think about me, which allows me to be myself all the time. What does bother me is the fact that once I am in a job (god forbid) I am going to have to motivate myself a hell of a lot better than I currently do.

In all honesty the only job I can ever see myself enjoying is one where I'm active. For all my apparent intelligence in some situations, I hate using my brain! I have worked at RM computers or the last 2 summers to earn some extra money for buying shit, and in the last summer where I spent the entire time shifting boxes around, I was more motivated than I think I have been in my entire 3 years at University!

Anyway, now I am gonna go play on my Xbox, before pretending to do some revision!

Much Love
