The End of an Era

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Today was the day of my Final Exam. It went pretty well I guess, and now I have completed my Degree. What a strange thought. I have no more academic work. Ever.

Today’s plan then is to enjoy my life and play computer games, and attempt to get some interviews.

Another Day, Another Exam

Friday, May 16th, 2008

The morning has rolled around, and so with it another Exam. Today’s Exam is Ubiquitous Computing. Should be fun. Haven’t got much else to say, so I better go get some breakfast and do some revision.

Post Exam Braindeadness…

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Yep, it’s happened; my first exam. Today was CS35910: Internet Services Administration. The exam was actually OK I guess, or at least it should have been OK (without being too presumptuous)! All the topics I revised came up, and I think I got some good answer down, so all in all, either a good boost of confidence, or simply a good old fashioned bit of self-delusion! My brain has now died however. Trying to revise Formal Methods in this heat, and after an exam was not a good idea, but one must push on.

This quite a long post, but I didn’t blog at all over the weekend, so i feel I should cover what was a rather eventful one.

On Monday, at 10AM my car failed MOT (no surprises from the Web Team ;-) ). However, at 4:00PM, it passed, after changing:
1: Real off-side wheel bearing
2: Both front brake hoses
3: Both front outer CV Boots ( :-O )
4: A chip in the windscreen
5: A bent wheel rim (Thanks Kwikfit!!!)
6: A nail in a rear tire

So, after all that, my car is in pretty good shape (for once!).

Once again, sorry for the long post, but thanks for reading ;-)

Love you all. xxx

What A Week!

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Sorry again about the drop in frequency of my Posts; Revision is well and truly underway! This week has been a blur of Family Guy, early mornings, Formal Methods and Criminal Law! What a Week!

It is 13 days until I leave Aber, so I am just trying to work really hard for these exams, and trying to avoid playing the xBox, which I have done remarkably well so far. I’m not sure if this is a comment on GTAIV, or just because I am trying to be sensible, but I haven’t as of yet found any features in GTA that have made me become addicted to it. Yeah its good, but it was always gonna be; Rockstar haven’t released a bad game. Ever. So that really isn’t a benchmark. It should be the best game they have ever made, and maybe the best game ever, but I haven’t found that yet.

Oh well, the only thing to do is to keep playing it and find out if it grows. I guess I didn’t instantly love FFVII (my current favorite game) the first time I ever played it, so I’m sure it will grow.

Keep reading for more of my random musings.
Cheers!

A Busy Weekend!

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Sorry for the lack of posts this weekend! It has been rather busy! It started on Friday night with the Radio Luxembourg gig. That was really good! They’re fantastic live, an it was really nice to hang out with the guys who were there!

Saturday saw the start of my revision, and also the arrival of GTA :-0 It’s a classic game! Also I went to a beach party on Saturday night, it was so nice to relax with close friends.

Last night was a day of GTA and very little revision, but today is revision all day!

Back to it; this morning is Formal Methods!

Iron Man

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Tonight saw the Commodore play host to the latest Marvel Superhero movie; Iron man. And what a cracker it was too! The FX were incredible! I strongly advise you all to see it, we’ve got it for two weeks.

And tomorrow night is the Radio Luxembourg gig at the Arts Centre, can’t wait!
