Nearing the end of student life

I will graduate from University in less than three months time. Huzzah! Once I do Craig "BE (Software) Hons IIB" Curtis will have to find a job. Awww, I'm working on that.

It is research week at UQ this week, and I've been thinking about postgraduate stuff. I really don't want to do postgraduate work atm. I want to get a job and start earning some simolians. But I think I'd like to do postgraduate stuff one day in the future. However I probably wouldn't do any computerish stuff again. What else could I do? I don't know. In a way I'm jealous of people like my thesis supervisor. They've found something they love doing, and are exceptionally good at it. They've pursued it to the highest level, by getting a PhD and no longer having that awful title of Mr attached to their name, as Professor Bailes once reminded me. By the way, what's the difference between a Dr. and a Professor? Do they both do PhD's? I'd like to know.

In other news the Qld Wind and Brass will be making a recording for 4MBS very soon. I've never been part of a performance which was solely to be recorded. It'll feel like I'm recording a movie soundtrack! Well I'll pretend I am. Amongst others we'll be playing The Flying Dutchman by Wagner. That one kicks arse!!! Every Wagner song reminds me of Nazis. Fucking Nazis. That and the Luftwaffe. Which makes perfect sense cos Wagner knew Hitler personally.

Oh and Amy just to answer your comment about me not getting art: I've been a student of the musical arts for 11 years now. I do get that art. I don't get a lot of visual art though. I think it's a bit wanky. But tons of music is wanky as well. Fuck it, all art is wanky. Except TISM. hmmm. That's less wanky.
