This post is to be formatted and edited for mistakes, Work In Progress lolz.
Well, this term has gotten off to a flying start. Lots of things have been happening and Uni is now seeming to be a primary home and Cheltenham is seeming to turn into a place I visit now and again.
I am thanking the good lord that things between myself and Lisa are patched up and that we are good friends again, it makes me so happy now, last term wasn’t that great as a result of big confusion on my part and bad things etc… but the fact is that things appear to be a lot lot better now, so happy days! And that out of the way, so I continue...
The timetable for us has been busier than last term, and we have had many lectures that have started at 10am in the morning! Also, since the 4th week of term, we (Lisa and I are Lab buddies for out COA hardware/software labs ^_^) had to swap our 10am Friday Lab to a 9am Thursday Lab, these also last 3 hours but we can take breaks for as long as we want when we want, or leave early or turn up late, but we have to turn up for some time to each one. 9am OMG, its odd having to get up that early again, but vaguely refreshing now.
The first Thursday that we did that, think it was last week :S, I remember telling Lisa, over our usual lunch that wasn’t in the fast food place @ Rootes Social ;-) rurururuh, that I felt really refreshed and it lifted my mood for the whole day, not to mention that the Labs are really fun anyway. I’m glad that I’m partners with Lisa for so many reasons that I’d like to go and list a few, like we are good friends so it’s really fun working together on something, we both share the opinion that it’s really good that we get to put our knowledge, that we have obtained from reading the notes and not going to lectures, to some practical use, however basic and the fact that Lisa is really fun to work with, especially when she gets really really excited over the little things in the lab like managing to get a sequence of lights to move after spending ages wiring, or a disk to spin round after ages of understanding the C code. It’s really great, and makes the day much better.
This term I’ve also become better friends with Henry. He, like Lisa, is also on the Computer Science course and is a really friendly guy! He likes playing all types of guitar and recording his music through his Uber soundcard. We very often meet up after lectures and go for lunch and talk and stuff, which I am really greatful for, because the last thing I wanna do is make the 20 minute each way walk back to westwood when I only have an hour break, and IF Lisa has been awake and has turned up for the previous lecture then we’d all go together which is amazing, because I really enjoy talking to them :).
Scrubs! OMG. Well there is a new series of scrubs out, and I have learned of Henry’s and Lisa’s love (well, in comparison to what I have it’s nothing) for Scrubs! I dunno what it is about the program, perhaps how it can be funny and so deep at the same time, I’m not sure but I think they see it too. It’s great fun taking my laptop to Rootes to watch the latest episodes with people. I will remember Maggie, Henry’s really nice girlfriend that I met the other day, because she likes scrubs too. One would think that it’s pretty much a universal feeling, but I have found many who don’t like it. Anyway, after getting really really hammered watching Scrubs with Henry and Maggie, we visited the Haven of all late night munchies, Battered. Basically a glorified chippie that is embedded into the side of the Student Union. Good times :).
Things to come. Well, it’s Lisa birthday on Sunday. Have ordered her presents, but the one I wanted wont be available for another week, so I got something from her Amazon wish list for the meantime, and we are also planning something for Sunday to be a surprise before she goes to have her fancy meal that her boyfriend Josh is preparing for her.
Almost got into a bit of trouble with her the other day actually, well nothing too bad. Basically, you people who know me really well, you’ll know that I worry too much about everything, especially my friends! Well, I knew Lisa had a lot on her plate recently, with loads of work, loads of catching up work, and loads of other commitments as well. Basically I just got worried about her, if she was coping with it and became minorly obsessed with trying to get in contact with her to make sure she was ok after she wasn’t replying to any texts. Eventually she did reply, was a bit annoyed I think, but hell it gave me peace of mind. I know I do it, and I can’t stop myself from worrying about people. Ahh well, turns out she’s coping fine so it’s all good :).
We’ve just got our coursework for the term laid out in most subjects. There are written works for Professional Skills, and an essay for the Holidays. We have COA Lab reports to be filed by the end of term, and a combined effort to work on over the holidays (Lisa will have to talk to you about what we do to work on that, I’m open to any suggestions if ur reading this, unlikely tho >.<). What else? Oh yeah, a nice big giant DIS coursework. Dammit, if there’s one module that I’m baffled by it’s maths, and if there’s one I’m uber fucking baffled by its DIS! Lol. I’m screwed, guess I’m gonna have to put in some overtime on this one! I’ve got Maths problem sheets to do before then, one I’m finishing this weekend, its not nice, and 2 more before the end of term.
I was looking forward to the “Half Term”, well we don’t get a holiday here, but it’s the week that contains valentine’s day. I had some friends coming to stay, well one was unsure, and I really wanted her (the wonderful Hannah) to come, but she has had to cancel because her mum is ill and it’s better that she stays at home. Not entirely sure that’s the reason, but really I’m to detached from it all now to be arsed to argue with it at all, and it would only make things worse in my past experience. Anyway, the plans are still in the air for Alan to come visit sometime then. He’s informed me that he’s just got his new £2000 Dell XPS laptop, which will wipe the floor with my inferior Dell Inspiron 9300, even though mine completely owns most machines around ;-). Well, he’ll be bringing that, and I’m not sure how much work I’ll be getting done while he is here lol.
I’ve recently been informed by the DVLA that I’m allowed to continue to drive with my Neurocardiogenic Syncope. So life isn’t all that bad :).
I saw Jade and Matt today / yesterday. It was great seeing them again after so long and we all (Lisa, Josh, Henry, Jade, Matt, Chloe, Rob, Ben, Stef and basically everyone else from Rootes-G 2nd floor) went out to the Graduate Bar for drinks, and after we went to Battered YAY. What I really enjoyed was Jade offering me some really really great advice. It was so nice to have someone to listen to how I felt and then offer me some really great advice to me for a change. Felt mildly refreshing to hear, and she was teaching me some things on the guitar, and oh yeah, I forgot, I am planning to learn to play guitar, mainly because I’ve always wanted to, I love the acoustic guitar sound and now I’m inspired mainly by Lisa and Henry.
Also, I find myself in a bit of a predicament. I really want to tell somebody something about how I feel about certain things, I know I should as a friend, but I know that they feel so adamantly and strong about the topic that they’d most likely shove it in my face no matter how good friends we are, and then that would be that, and I really don’t want to risk it. I’ll no doubt be talking to some people on MSN about it, like I usually do, and thank you so much to the people who help me out with these situations I get myself into, ur great and u all know who you are :).
Well, I may add to this soon, probably as a separate post, and will no doubt edit this post to conform to the rest of the blog, and correct some bullshit as I have written this in one go at 5am after getting back from drinking at the graduate bar with everyone.
All the best, Andy.
