The never ending list

Or more specifically – the never ending list of things to do that seems to dictate my life more than I do.

Over the last 3 months, I’ve watched said list grow and grow as my department shoved more and more assignment deadlines towards me, and watched the things I really want to do get moved gradually towards the bottom. This term has been a rather bumpy ride in terms of deadlines, assignments and exams – and I’m told it’s downhill from here! I’ll write some follow up posts soon showing off what I’ve achieved in creating recently (I’m actually proud of some of it!).

The happiest moment of my life occurred last week, when said list of ‘essentials’ finally reached zero, when the final assignment had been sent to the abyss that is known as ‘DUO’, and the end of term benchtest was over. I’m told that after spending a night out marking this occasion, I was heard celebrating in my room… Which involves me yelling a lot, before your minds jumped elsewhere!

Anyway – I get home, having promised myself a fortnight to enjoy Christmas before getting stuck down to work, and I find myself unable to even get started on that list of ‘want to do’ items. Congratulations to the CompSci department – they’ve killed my work ethic even for things that I enjoy!

My life

Well, its been a very long time since I posted here! Don’t believe I’ve written anything since I got back from Hungary even… that was a long time ago!

Upon getting back from Hungary, I’d heard from Durham that I’d been accepted into Van Mildert College, which has been my home for the last term. I moved in on October 4th, was consistently drunk for 10 weeks, and then moved back home in mid-December, having learnt not a lot – but having had a bloody good time! You can see why I’ve not had time for blogging!

Hungary was awesome if you were wondering, as was Summer Camp the week after – a good preparation for the ensuing mayhem at university!

I’ll try to post more on here as and when I remember, including some updates from Durham!

P.S. – Happy belated Christmas and New Year!

iPhone?!?!?!!!!!

Mum's finally come round to the idea of iPhone! Seems that she wants one as well, however... and also sister wants one. Doesn't seem quite so cool any more :(

Ah well... possibility of going into Macclesfield to get one tomorrow!!!

Xmas Greetings

Got a nice Christmas present from some script-kiddie this weekend - a nice attack against FsPortal! This little moron thought it would be funny to post 800 stupid messages on the forum... I guess he must be the alpha-male within the circles of retards - I only hope that natural selection takes its course and this particular branch of society dies out quickly!

Anyway, I won't be around much over the next week or so - managed to get myself into quite a lot of debt recently, and hence need to earn the money back!

Seasons greetings to everyone, hope you get everything you wish for and more!

3 nights running...

Tonight will be the 3rd night of consecutive drinking!

2 Xmas concerts... needed a drink after that, and off to Nic's tonight I believe!

Still looking forward to a weekend of actual work though :(

Anyway, Christmas concerts were as crap as usual. Last night had less than half the seats filled, I recon there were less in the audience than in the performers put together! Why do they make us suffer every year?!

Still nothing from UCAS, although Edinburgh and Durham have sent me correspondence saying they basically won't give offers until January... keep me waiting why don't you!!!

Nearly Christmas!

Oh dear... its only just December and already I'm fed up of Christmas adverts on the TV - its getting ridiculous! When you're seeing adverts for "Great Xmas Deals!!" before we're even in November... it gets rather depressing!

I vote we stop all adverts of a Christmas nature before the festive season is even here! I'm not being Scrooge, I'd just rather not be thinking about Xmas before my birthday in July!!!
