This took about 20 minutes to write
Jan. 13th, 2005 11:23 pmThis is just work avoidance, but It'll be good to get an update up for this year before it's over.
At the moment I'm busy. I have final year project to work on and revision to do. It's 10:22 as I write this and I fully intend to do a lot more work before I go to bed. I'm going to get the 85% average I need in these exams (and do enough Project work to be able to achieve a similar mark). All I need to do is work as hard as I know I'm capable of, and believe I can achieve the marks and make the most of every second I have. I'm going to get a first, I haven't got the time to enjoy the luxury of doubt anymore. It's an ultimatum for my sake. Enough people I respect believe I can get a first, and I won't let them or myself down. Not any more.
Oh and Sci-fi is taking up too much time.
At least I finally have the software to a state that I can start writing some actual code for my Project. Thanks almost exclusively to the House of Argh, there is nothing more worrying than not being able to get the one thing I really need to build to build. Thankfully numbers were on my side and there was a C++ compiler out there it would actually work with.
Christmas was good. I got things I wanted, things I need and a vegetarian cook book. I finished Sandman after starting reading it what about five or six years ago. They of course changed the covers so my last two don't match oh well no matter. I only stayed up till 4:30ish in the morning to finish them, it was worth it.
New Years was also good. I got to spend it with P, run a small D&D game for her, and watch (and explain) all three extended LotR films with her (over four nights). RotK was the only one I hadn't seen, all I can say is I didn't spot the extra stuff as easily and the Sauron's sorcerer was brilliant.
Oh and I've had some unbelievable unfortunate choices recently. I don't go on MSN very much, practically never nowadays, and for the last three/four months my sign in name has been 'My project looms over me like a tsunami over a small pacific island town', talk about thing. I changed it about two days ago when P reminded me about it. Then I chose to show the Wettening Zim episode on Scifi on Wednesday, whichs I forgot ends with the unnamed city being destroyed by a moon sized water balloon. Thankfully no one appeared to pick up on it.
I hand delivered my application to IPL, last Tuesday. I wait to hear back. I also need to apply to more places, I might try and get at least another application done before the exams start.
And to end on a happier note (though while I might be stressed, thanks to P I'm still never less than ecstatic), she turns 20 this Saturday, and I have everything sorted. Though there's somethings I can't mention here, otherwise it would spoil things.
Thank everything for P, I don't even want to think about what it would have been like dealing with this period of my life without her.
