Hey, I think Meghan's on a good thing here. The year in review. Let's go, kiddies:

Jan '00: Got dumped. Sat in Gladstone and moped. Melted from the heat or watched it rain buckets. I can't remember if we had a wet season last year. Went out with Nards and her Young Man. Did bugger-all very glumly.

Feb '00: Got over it a fair bit. Did more of the same. Came back to college and had a fantabulous o-week. Considered picking up a wonderful American. Didn't manage it, which is probably good.

Mar '00: Uni begins. Tedium ensues. We settle into the pattern of life that was 3B 2000, with all its varieties.

Apr '00: Easter holidays. I work cleaning staff and bar manager. My parents come to visit. I attempt to write two essays. I die of exhaustion and am quite happy when uni goes back and I get a break.

May '00: K^r and I celebrate our birthdays. Much alcohol is imbibed on both occasions. We have fun in true, drunken 3B style.

Jun '00: More holidays. Not having learned, I do the same thing I did last time, but this time without parents or essays. It works better, but is still adjacent enough to hell to make me declare I will never do it again.

Jul '00: Second semester begins. More tedium ensues, this time without our North American exchange students. We miss them. I buy viscerate.com, and hence begin this dump of extraneous matter.

Aug '00: Did reviews and blogged better than I do now. Got fed up with stupid people. Read Foucault's Pendulum; a truly life-changing experience.

Sep '00: That bloody sporting match was on. I morphed to another universe. Actually, I lazed around at home and watched the Olympics while pretending to write. Acquired Olivia, the Travelling Typewriter.

Oct '00: Panicked because there was only a month until exams. Procrastinated in an extreme sense.

Nov '00: Finished all exams before the official period even started, securing the homocidal envy of all my friends. Proceeded to languish.

Dec '00: Worked after-hours duty. Languished some more and bloody well enjoyed.

So there's my year in review. Rather more laziness than was, perhaps, absolutely necessary, but I enjoyed it. I met some wonderful people and did some truly hilarious things this year. And I don't regret a moment of it, which is all that needs to be said, I suppose. Here's to a worthy 2001.
