Sweet. Yeah, I've pretty much made my decision. Since that's something that's so limited in terms of when I can do it, I am going to. My dad won't be happy about it, because he said "What's working in the service industry going to do for your career?" and I told him I didn't want to be a walking resume; and if future employers asked where I was during that time, all I had to say was that I was travelling, which is just as good.
Wow. I have a plan. A plan that will actually happen for after I graduate. OMG, the void is looking less bleak!
"What's working in the service industry going to do for your career?"
Who says you have to work in the service industry? You could get a job there that's just as good as whatever you get here. Or you could temp.

My vagueish plan is to actually put together my IT resume and spam jobs with it.
there are venomous snakes in Britain/Ireland? I thought there were just...black snakes or garter snakes or something.

Yup. In Britain, not Ireland. Not exactly of the same level of concern as Australia's finest, but they do exist.
Huh. Things I Never Knew.
St. Patrick apparently never made it across to England.

Actually, the story (or at least the version of it with which I am familiar) has it that he was born in Wales, and taken to Ireland as a slave, so he was originally from this side of the Irish Sea. But it's true that we still have snakes in England (and Wales and Scotland): the grass snake (which is actually a legless lizard), the adder (the posionous but really rare one)... and possibly one other I've forgotten.

I don't care what they are technically, that's a snake.

The Tiajuana Estuary has some flavor of legless lizard and no one will ever convince me that they just aren't snakes that are lying to themselves.
I might have a slight touch of snake squick.

But they have ears. They can hear you coming!
