Summer Plans

As well as putting in eight weeks of effort for Cisco over the summer there's a whole load of stuff I've got to be getting on with. Here's a summary.

Find a job - I keep putting this off, but I can't put it off much longer
Visit Cornwall for a weekend
Visit the Lake district for a weekend
Read Harry Potter
Learn options - never got them straight in my head, won't feel right till I do
Help the business school with their website
Get back into the habit of going to the gym on a regular basis
Design next years blog

I'm sure there's much much more, but that'll do for a start.

Cisco Day One

Day one of the Cisco Summer Business Project today. I'm not sure how much I can reasonably say about the project, so you're going to have to make do with generalities from here. It went well, Cisco were helpful and provided us with laptops and full employee access to their system.

Their system is very impressive, and really rather large.

Bit like the company really.

Balls

Keble ball was fun, although for those not used to Oxford balls the comment was more 'this is more like a fair for grown ups than a ball' which is fair enough. There was a bouncy castle, there was a ferris wheel, there was a coconut shy. There was also (and I have no explanation for this) a table of plates which people were invited to smash by throwing cricket balls at them.

Now I don't know why this was going on, but it kept several undergraduates occupied for many many hours. They started at 9 and were still going when we left at 2:30 in the morning. Perhaps this was a last minute strategy adopted by the organisers when they realised that a number of clinically insane guests had arrived, or perhaps this is what today's kids do in their spare time - I have no idea.

Plate smashing, it's the next big thing.
