Once again I proove that I am useless at updating this journal

Right.

I actually feel like I have accomplished a fair amount of stuff over the past week, but at the same time, I can't really remember much of it. Time is blurring together horribly at the moment; One one hand, I want the time to go quickly so I can get to my interview, the TagLan and Muse concert quickly, but on the other hand, I want it to slow right down, cos I feel like my life is slipping through my fingers.

Anyway... thursday, friday and the weekend involved getting a load of work done, and on monday and tuesday I finished off the occam and the latest proof assessment, and made a start on the Z. All I have left to do is the last occam one, and the Z to finish off, which shouldn't be too bad.

No one went swimming on Monday, which was a bit of a shame, so I wandered through town and bought a CD and three more Discworld books instead. I'm bad.

I've also pretty much got the Help Session thingys that I'm starting up virtually sorted, which is good... should be able to start running them next week. Bonus.

Val is back in the country, and I'll be going over to Origins to see her in a bit. Just got back from the dentist, and the whole of the right side of my face is frozen up... impossible to drink without dribbling, and my jaw aches so much.

Hmmm. Bit of a rambly post... feeling a bit apathetic again. I feel like a bad boyfriend cos I haven't seen Kim much at all this week, and she's down about something but I don't know what, and there doesn't appear to be anything I can do.

I think I'll just go an get on with stuff. What will happen will happen, and right now, I'm too physically/mentally/emotionally tired to be bothered to do anything. In the end, it doesn't really matter.

Strangeness

Monday was pretty good... actually went to my morning lectures for a change. Spent the afternoon hacking away at some Occam, before having a fairly productive Group Project meeting. Have yet to have meeting where everyone is present though. Still, getting stuff done now.
Went swimming at 1600, followed by walking home (listening to Joss Stone \o/) and cooking a nice big meal of mince with HoiSin (or however you spell it) Sauce and proper noodles. Yummeh. Ate it while watching Spooks (Series 3 has been getting worse and worse, sadly), and then jibbled a little bit before sleeping.

Tuesday was also quite good... Again, I went to almost all my lectures for a change, and spent the evening on campus doing more Occam and listening to music in the rocks room with peeps, before going to Origins for food. After that, we headed of to Rutherford Bar for the Bar Quiz (briefly interrupted by a fire alarm), which I sat through playing games on my laptop. Bed me. Still, was good to be with peeps. Got the nightbus home.

Today I watched the pilot episode of Due South at DBS with Kim and Wendy and DWChris and AquallaChris. Was pretty good. Then went to try and get my hair cut (no luck), and then went swimming again with folks. I'm gradually getting better and better at swimming, which is great :D Came home with the intention of getting some food and then heading back out to DBS, but ended up staying here instead. Done nothing much all evening, except sort out an interview for wotmania. I think I'm gonna get a early night for a change.
Plus, I passed the paper stage of my job application for a placement next year, and have been offered an interview! Go me!!! :D:D:D

Oh, and here's some randomness for ya: I was interviewing a friend of mine from wotmania, (for a paper I host: Wotmania Weekly). It seems that she is also going to Muse on the 19th Dec. How random is that?!

A good few days...

Thursday:
Spent mostly at Kim's, playing The Getaway and FFVII. Went home and started reading "Guards! Guards!", and played some more Vice City and FFVII, and not much else/

Friday:
Was woken up horribly early by the workmen outside digging up the road. After some brekkie, went up to campus to meet with people for the Group Project thingy... Finally got some stuff sorted out! Went to Origins with Jen, Mike, Piggeh and DW for lunch, and mocched around in rocks before going and playing some football spontaneously with some of Chris' friends. Was reeeeeally good to play again, even though it rained a little. Felt very good afterwards, and caught the bus back, listening to Joss Stone along the way.
Excellent day :D

Saturday:
Woke up with horrible aches all over; The price of playing football in the cold and wet, when you haven't played in ages, and didn't warm up properly. Silly me. Mooched around, playing more Vice City, until the evening when I went across to DBS for a night of games and movies with peeps. Was good fun, especially beating everyone at Super Monkey Ball 2 ;D

Sunday:
Done nothing much so far today... been playing some AvP2, SuperMonkeyBall2, and Wario Ware whilst waiting for Kim to get back from London. I think there is another Movie/Games night at DBS tonight, which will be great, but we're back to Uni tomorrow :-/

La la la

I have come to the conclusion that I read too much.. read 3 Discworld books in as many days!

Sunday I spent either reading, or collapsed on my bed with exhaustion. Somehow I read the whole of Sourcery.
Monday was spent up on campus; had a meeting with Janet Carter at 10am, and another one with Rogerio De Lemos at 2pm. Between that I spruced up the TagSoc wiki a little, and got the ball rolling again for the TagLan LAN Parteh. Also, it appears that there are Nightwish tickets still available, so some were bought. It appears that we still need 4 tickets from somewhere though.
Spent yesterday evening reading Wyrd Sisters and playing FFVII... fell asleep at some point, and woke up at 5am fully dressed with the light on, window open, and music playing loudly. I was kinda impressed with my sleeping skills.

Didn't get up until 11ish this morning, due to some slightly wierd dreams. I get a lot of wierd dreams, but these were stranger than usual... I can't remember how, exactly, but I know they were wierd.
Anywho, spent the afternoon reading Pyramids, and then completed the final 6 missions in GTA3. Started a game of GTA:Vice City now; don't like it as much though. The camera angle is way too low, and there is a permanent orange tint to everything.

I think I may go to sleep soon... nothing like a good bit of R&R :D

Hrm

Thursday was spent watching Spooks S2, getting close to the end of the series now, and it's nailbiting. Also tried to do some coursework, wasn't all that successful :D
Friday, actually managed to get up to Uni in time for my first lecture... and then only attended that one out of four :S Got the assessment done though, and made good headway on another one. Also had a small group project meeting... we cleverly arranged a meeting for wednesday afternoon, when half the group will be at IBM Hursley :P
Finished watching Spooks S2 in the evening, and it was such a cliff hanger. I'm glad I already watched the start of S3, so I know how it all waorks out, but I can imagine the frustration of having to wait for so long to find stuff out!

Today, I got woken up horribly early by a pneumatic drill... the workmen in our road have moved down to opposite my house, an they are _so_ loud, especially when it goes on for 2 hours straight.

This evening there will hopefully be a TagSoc Fireworks Social at DBS, at 7pm. This will be followed by HIGNFY viewage. I bought the two "Best Of" HIGNFY DVD's yesterday :D
Fireworks will, of course, involve running around trying to buy whatever fireworks are left. Still it would be really nice to do something as a group again... I've missed not doing big TagSoc stuff :/
So, yeah... everyone come along. DBS, 7pm, tonight. Bring drink ;)

Better :)

Been feeling better recently, I think taking some time off at home was a good thing. Spent the rest of Saturday lazing about, and watched a few more Spooks S2 episodes with my parents.
Sunday involved a long trip home on the train, but managed to occupy myself with my laptop and my iAudio M3 :D
Got home, unpacked and stuff, then headed over to DBS for the halloween thingy. Was really, really good to properly socialise again, haven't seen people in ages.

Monday, overslept by a loooooong way (hence missing all my lectures), but still went up to campus and did a piece of coursework. Then went swimming, which is always good. I'm steadily improving my swimming abilities :D

Tuesday, spent the day on campus, in lectures, and started to sort out the group I am in for a big Group Project thing... I get the feeling that it's gonna be quite tough to get everyone working together nicely. Spent the evening/early morning following the U.S. Elections, which were midly interesting. Personally, I on't think either Bush nor Kerry are particularly suitable for the job, but would prefer Kerry over Bush. That didn't happen. Oh well.

Today I sorted out a load of stuff in town... paid a bill, sorted out my council tax, and did a bit of shopping for Babs, who's feeling quite ill. *hugs to Babs*
Finished off another piece of coursework, and spent the afternoon jibbling on my laptop... got FFVII working on a PSX emulator! :D

*bounce*
