Well, my futile efforts in keeping an up-to-date blog are
failing miserably! Being at university there are far to many distractions, i
blame the student accommodation and alcohol (hey! at least I’m honest!).
So at the end of week 8 at university things are starting to tense up in both
educational and fiscal aspects, money is tight and the work load is piling up.
That said I’m still having an amazing time with both. Current coursework
includes making a space invaders game for the Computer Graphics
& UID module and a website on emerging technologies for my E-Commerce and
E-Business module. Great stuff! Talking of websites, I’ve updated mine with a
few small alterations, just in case anyone is interested. Need some inspiration
on how to spruce it up, any suggests are very welcome. Address on the site!
We've recently been given our exam timetable via port.hell and mine are on the
10th and the 16th. Nicely spaced i think. Enough time to recover from the first
and revise for the second. also means i have the chance to go home anytime from
the 16th. Might stick around though as me and some people in the block are going
to have ourselves a Christmas dinner in the block and guess who's cooking! I'm
actually rather looking forward to cooking some, haven’t done a lot since been
at uni again. The only problem with my love of cooking is that i only get to do
it seriously when I’m not at uni as time doesn't allow me to work anything but Mickey
Mouse hours on weekends (12-18 hours). Have got my job at The 3 Hares ready and
waiting for Christmas though, so am looking forward to doing lots of hours and
staying in practise. Oh and the cash would be nice too!
So Christmas!! That social event that gets everybody in a tizzy over what to
buy and how much to spend on certain relatives! Come on you all know you do
it!! lol. Well I on the other hand have got it sorted. A prior agreement with
brother #1 and #2 in the none exchange of gifts should cut out about £30-£40.
And seeing as how they would buy token gifts and nothing of actual use, I can
let them go! So, that just leaves my Dad and his partner, my Mum, my little
Sister (no agreements there!!) and my Girlfriend. So now that I’ve reduced it
down to 5 people. I still have to decide what to get them. I'm sure Amazon can
help ;).
House hunting!?! Well, the mentioned people from my halls and I are looking
into a house in hull for next year. There's ten of us so there's quite a lot of
organisation involved in this one! We've seen a few houses and asked about
viewings but because of last years huge rush for houses, the university scheme
registered housing providers aren’t letting anyone view until January. I've
never had to house hunt before but i have a good idea of what i don't want to
live in and i think the other 9 share the same sorts of standards.
So that’s me for the moment, will probably drop by when I can be bothered!
Laters!
