...here it is.
I just realised that this hasn't been updated in months. I blame life. So, what's changed... Lavin's gone. Matt's gone. Not dead. At least I hope not, that would suck. Having to go to their funerals, deliver eulogies and having to put on that insipid face of depression. No, instead they're if anything, the complete opposite. They've begun what are likely to be some of the best and most memorable days of their lives - University. The long nights of drinking, the long mornings of lay-ins and hangovers, followed by the afternoons of what should be studying, but more likely to be socialising and enjoying the new-found freedom. At least that's how I imagine it.
I've now made my return to the world of education, also. None other than the course entitled "Btec National Diploma for IT Practitioners"; a year two student. The final year of the confines of a college. In 11 months, if all goes to plan I will be at a university enjoying my new found freedom, new friends and all the flavoursome taste of stress. Perhaps even with a romantic interest to become fixated upon, though this is somewhat doubtful. I've so far decided on 5 Universities to become my home for 3 years of my life. Plymouth, Middlesex, Anglia Ruskin, Bedfordshire and my personal favorite - Coventry. I will be studying Computer Networking at one of these.
This is all of course depending on what I do in the next few days concerning my current coursework. I have in front of me a pile of notes concerning signal theory, wireless and wired transmissions and information on attenuation. I'm supposed to be working on my Communication Technology assignment, but I find myself to be struggling. It's not so much the subject, it's the drive to do it that I lack. And staggeringly, I have gone from being 100% confident I have all the notes on everything the assignment needs to cover, to the realisation that I've got notes on perhaps 3 or 4 aspects of the assignment (which needs to cover about 20) and will need to do a lot of work from hours of research on Google in about 5 minutes.
So here I sit. In a room, freshly packed with my Mum's Fiance's DVD collection combined with mine, fridge, microwave and CD's, updating a blog, so that I can post it into my status on Facebook in the hope that someone will read it. I'm also listening the the masterpiece that is Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' and thinking about the current state my life is in. In 3 months, I will have a stepfather. In 8, a new baby brother/sister. In 12, my own flat/dorm/apartment. Life is looking very bright, on the horizon. Perhaps sometime soon I might even have found myself someone to become infatuated with.
At time of writing, the countdown to what will surely be regarded as "The Game of the Year" will be released in 6 days, 7 hours, 1 minute and 45 seconds. "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" will be something that I'm sure I will look back on in a few years and think to myself "Did I really waste so much time on that? When I could have been doing so much more important things with my time?". But my future self will need to live with that, because my God, I don't care. It will be worth spending hours upon hours, days upon days on.
Well, I'm starting to wonder what I have and have not said so far in this blog, so I think that it may be coming to a close. Not much has happened recently. But here, a list appears:
- Finished full time work.
- Back to college.
- Matt/Lavin away at Uni.
- My Mum has become engaged/pregnant.
- I have acquired a fridge and microwave for my room.
- I now have a 35 hour save on Fallout 3: GOTY edition.
- I have rediscovered the joy of reading, am on the second to final chapter of "One Day" and have "The Road", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" and "Moby Dick" awaiting my attention.
-I emailed Tierney apologising for my behavior after the break-up. It cleared my head and I feel better after talking to her on MSN. Though it still makes me resentful that she is happier now than she was with me, with her new boyfriend. She's moving house to somewhere that allows her to get to and from Fakenham whenever she pleases - something I wanted desperatly when we were together.
- I miss the students who worked at Morrisons over the summer. Am looking forward to seeing them this Christmas.
And that's all for my blog. I wish you all a very happy week, and appreciate that you took the time to read this.
