Turmoil
Monday, October 31, 2005 8:12 PM
Trying to get coursework done within the turmoil of teething, foster kids kicking off, mother having fall apart over her career, court cases over Littl'un and having to look after pets that aren't mine, is, shall we say, a challenge.  I feel like

Too many PCs not enough mice.
Saturday, October 29, 2005 9:50 PM
OK previous entry was perhaps a little um, off the wall.  I am going to let it stand though.  The world is full of people with issues, some of them are just a little more like a "Hollyoaks" episode than others.  (I don't watch soaps, but

wallowing in depression
Friday, October 28, 2005 3:01 PM
I didn't go in to uni yesterday, I then saw Certain Lecturer at traffic lights as I was walking along munching chocolate.  I feel that this looks a little bad, chances are he has just written me off as another sciving brat (everyone tells me I still

Coursework
Tuesday, October 25, 2005 8:06 PM
We were given the basic outline for our programing coursework today, we have to make a 1 player version of mastermind the boardgame.  I have already informed mother that if I do badly it is her fault for not playing boardgames with me as a kid!

Skittles
Sunday, October 23, 2005 8:46 PM
This is the last time Littl'un is given any brightly coloured sweets of any description just in case.  I feel it is probably divine punishment for being so judgmental of other people's parenting, I never really believed in hyperactivity from

Quality time
Saturday, October 22, 2005 7:20 PM
Had "quality time" with Littl'un today, we went in search of a Sully from Monsters Inc but had no luck so we came home with Tamber from Tikkabilla.  I vowed I would bring her up in a more intellectual fashion than this but at least she knows her

Books
Friday, October 21, 2005 3:41 PM
I obediently ordered Code Complete 2 the other day after being told by Certain Lecturer that we MUST read it if we are ever to get a job.  It arrived today along with my pot noodle horn.  My horn however provided more immediate entertainment,

Certain lecturer hasn't responded to certain email, was going to speak to him after lecture, but I chickened out.  Got a comment on yesterdays blog, was rather excited, possibly a little sad but hey, no-one talks to me on my course so it's

Arrogance
Wednesday, October 19, 2005 6:29 PM
Mum claims my posts are somewhat arrogant, and rekons Boyf shouldn't approve.  I've no idea what he thinks, he never comments.  I also find the arrogance of certain lecturers who assume that anyone who hasn't done a certain test are all

Back again
Monday, October 17, 2005 2:22 PM
Well it's been a while since my last post, I've been ill, again, this time though considerably more debilitated.  I am now back on my feet, in time for my flu jab, which should knock me out again, it usually does.  Boyf seems even more

New Game
Monday, October 10, 2005 9:40 PM
Finally got my PSU today, went and bought Black and White 2 to celebrate (I have been waiting for this game for 18 months) and it is, in fact, the first game I have bought since Littl'un was born.  So here I am with all the bits I need for my PC

Inlaws
Sunday, October 09, 2005 6:48 PM
Met Boyf's parents yesterday, they seem nice, his dad is quiet but I got on well with his mum, she talks, which is good cos I'm rather shy.  Littl'un formed absolutely no opinion of them beyond his mummy is little.  Actually some intelligent

back in therapy
Friday, October 07, 2005 7:45 PM
Saw my therapist today, so am officially back in therapy. She says I should give Boyf less of a hard time, which is probably true, I told him this so he's decided he likes her.  Had labs today, I managed to finish my cricket scorer (ahead of schedule)

fog clearing
Thursday, October 06, 2005 7:54 PM
The logic business is all beggining to become clear, if I get my brain to squint at it I can just about make sense of it.  I feel like what I am learning in programming is beggining to all make sense in my head now. Get over a cold and hey, whadd'ya

Logic? according to whom?
Tuesday, October 04, 2005 4:02 PM
I have been looking at my maths homework (having downloaded it from the site as I was off again yesterday and today) whih is on logic.  I have been trying to fathom it.  I have been reading my maths notes which go with the course and some out

nasty cold.
Sunday, October 02, 2005 4:24 PM
I have had a cold for the last week, it keeps getting worse, it is definitely in the realms of male definition 'flu now.  While I am still standing no-one at home is willing to give it much credence though.  Boyf spent the day yesterday helping
