Yesterday I wrote my final JAVA exams in London. I surprisingly found that I'd been there before as one of my London "adventure" walks. It was in Holborn, I remember passing through here the other day and telling someone at work how Holborn was OK. I arrived early, like 2 hours early which really helped my disposition as I was able to find out details of the exam procedure when I arrived and knew exactly what I needed to do when I returned. Oh, and I found the place which was important.
I spent my time wondering really, taking alternative routes to those I knew or took previously while in Holborn. Grabbed a really dodgy drink which was a bitter drink but because I sadly could not read the Italian print on the can, I thought I'd just give it a try. Bad mistake - sucked hugely.
While managing my disgust I sipped my hell water until I got to Starbucks and for the first time sat down in like a totally cafe kind of way - facing the road, chillaxing, sipping a strawberry frapppucino and just taking it easy.
Oh wait, that was after I found myself following people to a busy street Market which I perused before heading onwards.
One thing I obviously knew was how miserably early I was but interestingly enough that really didn't bother me, in fact it suits my disposition. I wanted loads of time before the exam. I wanted to ease my way into the exam and I did and it felt good. So, about the year end exam - it was pretty challenging but I think I've passed the year so really I'm looking to see what is next on the agenda. I'm quite interested in Databasing/Clustering as it's not a strong point of mine(or at least my colleagues can walk circles around me!) so that might be the next thing, then again perhaps advanced Java programming would be better - something where you learn more about practical solution implementation than just the language syntax( I pretty much know for a multitude of other languages in the same vain) but then again I tend to solve these problems by making real problems myself and solving them by writing programs. I dunno but I think it will have to be different.
On the way home after 3 hour exam I found myself at Bank station which at 17:30 was crowded. I waited for 2 tubes and then got miffed and knew I could walk say towards the themes river, embankment area - do I did, ended up in Embankment after a awesome walk(I was going to say fresh-air walk but who am I kidding) which far out-classed a smelly tube journey, I headed home from Waterloo.
Decided, when I got home, to try the 2km run to the gym just to get back into the swing if things. it worked, I enjoyed it, body was fine but probably worked a bit too hard at the gym because I'm tired this morning.
oh well, life is great!
