Swine flu?
All the best people get 2:1s. It's just nice not to have deadlines isn't it? My last one is December then I'm done for good.

Could be...he might turn into a pig.
So nice not to have deadlines, and not to wake up and have all the reading looming over you, and to read for pleasure!

I went out and bought a load of books the week before I had to get stuff in
just to give me the last incentive I needed to get on with it. I'm happily working my way through them now.

erm...
jobs have dealines too. If I were you I'd become a philosopher instead.

Deadlines, Metrics, Targets, 'Stretch-targets', Missions, make the most of it while you can avoid being under pressure, and when you enter the job market, make sure you are ON TOP and doling it out, not under the cosh and stressing about it :-)

I know. But for this year I'm a barmaid.

then again, at least with regular work
you get to go home at 5.... in the evening, not the morning.

It is beautiful having the weekends off.
But I'm not sure if it makes up for how much more work I have to do overall.

at least in a pub
if someone is being an arsehole, chances are you can get a bouncer to throw them out.

Less chance of that if you're in an office and it's a colleague in Accounts being an arsehole :-(
