For starters, why can't they have some interesting assignments at uni? Some of the earier years ones have been good, fun and so people actually learn something. Now I'm writing a stupid application to run an imaginary diner system, WaiterAid. To be honest it's boring as batshit, especially because it's run by managers and the whole thing is so... anal retentive? I guess it's something to look for if I am ever employed.
I might do a bit of work on my site so my mind doesn't fall asleep without me.
