It is now

Well, now I am graduated!

It was the ceremony today. As ceremonies go, it was pretty cool, and now I have a bit of paper saying I'm all clever and stuff. Which is nice. But I find myself wondering - in my time at university, what have I actually learnt? I have come up with the following points:

I have a new phone

My new nokia 6230 arrived yesterday, and I have been playing with it today. It's nice apart from a few small things; the main navigation button has to be pressed down, and its too easy to hit the direction keys, there are no decent backgrounds, polyphonic ring tones suck, and the battery life isn't as good as I've come to expect from nokia.
