use Perl

Earlier tonight I sat down with Beginning Perl (by Simon Cozens) and made my third attempt at learning some basic Perl stuff. Third time lucky me thinks! Maybe I'm just not as dumb as I used to be or a tiny bit of what I learnt last time actually sunk in, but either way I'm really excited as it's making a lot of sense. Of course, being halfway through chapter 2 is a bit soon to be talking big but at least this time it is fun, not stressful and dull. I spent a little time looking at the concept of 'backwhacking' as I must have skipped that part before. My senses tell me I shall be a n00b for a little while yet :)

Fresher's week started ok but is getting a bit boring now; actually looking forward to starting the lectures and whatnot! :S

note* always take a key when you go out for the night - if a flatmate goes home early, leaving you in a club a mile away By Yourself(!) things could turn ugly.

had the pleasure of talking to Beatnik on MSN the other night...I really wish I could have gone to Belfast :(

spoke to my course leader at uni and they said that i had the opportunity to spend two years abroad = Belgium and Germany (two European countries I've yet to see) either studying and/or working :D

Hmm, started coursework in History awhile back and need to think of a topic but can't! Have to write a 2,000-3,000 word essay for next month....
