finished coursework!

yey - finially finished my two lagest courseworks! :) such a relief! unfortunately i am now ill. :( mat has given everyone in the flat the flu :S i still need to do SE and SPE, but it feels like a lot less pressure :)
really need to start xmax shopping...

*warning - post contains a lot of moaning*

ok so hours after I started I've finally installed java on my laptop... but on windows rather than linux as was my original plan. argh. I don't like linux as I don't understand it properly yet - i'm not great with the terminal so installing things is a nightmare - especially when I downloaded the wrong thing first :(
Now I just have to implement the java for my coursework. Unfortunately I've forgotton all the java I ever knew and the deadline is on Friday... not my best time planning I'll admit. Also I wanted to go out tomorrow but that probs not going to happen now, as I'm working Fri afternoon so can't do the work then.
Also my flat is freezing, which is not helping my immune system :S

ugh

ugh... i ache... i have something that isn't quite flu but its getting there and everything aches :( i was meant to be going choir, and to toner's, but I can't manage anything more than sitting around with my duvet :S
and i have lots of coursework
bleugh

bleugh

Software Engineering isn't fun. In fact its probably the exact opposite. I really don't understand a thing at the moment grr... and the lecture slides aren't helping at all. At least I'm not the only one - but I guess that means theres not anyone to tell me what on earth its about :( *cries*

bored at work

ok so I'm working now... making people get the new NUS cards... apart from no one seems to want them atm :S I've sold about 1 card in 3 hours... basically getting paid to write this blog now :-S
What else is going on? hmm... went out last night - was great fun - knew soooo many people out and kept trying to find someone and ending up talking to someone else for half hour instead!
Working till friday, so hopefully more people will want cards by then!

settled

Internet :) yey... sad I know but I had some withdrawal symptoms :-S
Settled into our flat and my room, which is now rearranged to a much better layout! Also have some posters and LOTS of pics on my walls so they look a lot better!
Went to rams last night - had a great time, and house party tonight just down the road so I can just stumble back!
Today is just about clearing my room a bit, and exploring some of the clifton shops. If we can be bothered to go out that is!!!

Mon 25th Sept - post before internet in flat!

Wow - finally in my flat! no internet yet, so this will have to be uploaded later!
My room is bigger than I thought - more narrow and long, than square as I thought. Don't think I like the postitioning of things though so today will be about rearranging, and properly unpacking - and decorating - it definately needs some colour on the walls as its very bland atm!
Not quite used to the flat obviously yet - woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep - so everyone else is still asleep while I'm writing this.
Also going to meet toner today, and shopping with kat tomorrow :)
And sort out internet - already feel like I need it!

packing

last day at home! no internet till I sort it out in the flat :S
Packing is not much fun...

grumble

transfering things from my computer to my laptop is taking too long :S
grr...

geek me

hee hee I'm posting this on my laptop which I have FINALLY managed to do what I want with - be really geeky and set up windows AND linux :) so it works (though i have to admit a lot of that had to do with tom/google...)
That is pretty much all as I am going to the pub in a minute!
bye!

laptop!

So once again I've got a half post waiting to be published with photos from my holidays... I may well try to post the photos, even if I don't get round to doing anymore than commenting them!
Been back from Florida for 2 weeks now, and pretty much just been working! have done 11 days out of 14, so tired now! But have a week before going back to Bristol, so a good time to rest, see people and say bye! Toner is coming down tue/wed so doing some fun London-y things - Aquarium (not an oceanarim..) and London Eye, which I'm going to book for around the time the sun sets. I've been twice before, once in the daylight and once at night - both spectacular, but night time kind of steals the show! Then after going to meet up with friends for dinner at wagamamas :) May well try to get some photos and post them. As is probably evident I think my blog needs some more pictures! Though one of the major problems at the moment is that I haven't yet transferred anything from my computer to my NEW LAPTOP XD
Decided that as my computer has been quite mean for quite a while to get a new one. Decided to get a new desktop, then one laptop, then this laptop with better spec, as if I'm going to spend all my money it might as well last! And also I'm an impatient person who doesn't like to wait for her computer to take ages to load things! :P
hmm... I may look at doing those photos now... and in fact changing the layout slightly given that with my new laptop I've realised it tiles....

Barcelona

Ok so I thought I'd update(finally...) with tales from Barcelona - such a lovely city!
Went last mon (7th), flight was fine, and managed to find our hotel with only a little detour the wrong way down a line at what must be Spain's most confusing station. Our hotel was called Silken-St-Gervasi, and thats the pic above. Really nice, especially for the price!
----
Ok so never really got round to writing this WHOLE post but below are all my photos :)

lazing

so I'm at home, and not really doing all that much. Worked quite a few days last week, which should give me some much needed money! Was quite tiring though... I don't know how people do that all the time! must get used to it I suppose, but my feet were killing me after standing on them for 4 days! This week a lot of my friends are away so I'm not really doing much. I'm pretending to clear my room, to think about going over some of this year's work, and not just waking up to watch ER and Without a Trace...
Got some excting things coming up though - I'm going to Barcelona at the start of august with Toner, and then to Disney World florida with my family XD
I think I may well redesign this blog as another excuse not to be doing anything productive...

finished!

Exams are over! finally :) just really chilling out and relaxing now. Still in Bris and enjoying the gorgeous weather before going home for the summer. The exams had their ups and downs, the ca paper was easier than past papers, but that doesn't mean that I've got enough to scrape a pass. The se was the opposite - quite a bit harder than last years paper, but I didn't need too many marks so I should have got through! The maths was fine(astonishingly) and shouldn't have any problems passing that! Also I should hopefully be getting my psych essay marks back, as the assesment boycott has ended.
Didn't get an interview with the job I applied for, so means that I have to try to get summer work back home - I think I'm really going to need the money next year! Getting the keys to our flat some time soon, its going to be so much fun next year :) but I'm really going to miss halls - there's a great atmosphere from the sheer volume of people in the same place :)
England match tomorrow!

ok so I got a bit addicted to the blog quizzes...

revision

Coursework is over!!!!!!!!!!!
yey! no more coursework this year! such a good feeling. However I do now have to do revision. I started yesterday, and just started with problems today. The lecture slides are pretty confusing - they seem to think we know a lot of stuff that I just don't know. And they think complicated things are easy. Things that just don't make sence. Like S(um)O(f)P(roducts)... they give some complicated explanation, and just expect you to understand how they got there. :-S Maybe its just me?
Anyway, what up in life atm? went to rams last night, for the second week running, for chris' fake birthday! had a great time, which is good as I don't think I'll really be going out for a while :-S at least until the 5th June - my last exam(maths - ugh).
Also considering applying for a job in september with my uni's internet service, they need admin for 3 weeks in september, and tech after that, they pay good (and I'm REALLY going to need that next year!) and can get shifts around my lectures, sounds promising...

coursework

i don't like coursework. especially computer archetecure. facebook is much more fun.

finally

ok so not only have i not posted in... well a long time... the last 3 or so posts never got finished. oh well... its so long ago now that i can't really remember!
so i'm back in bristol now after the easter hols, lectures start again on monday :-S got back about 11 last night and managed as usual not to get to bed until 2... got up this morning and WENT TO THE GYM!!! and i was on time... the two most unlikly things in my life!
I really need to start revising. Really. I need to do pretty well in these exams, as my coursework isn't really where i think it needs to be. And of course instead of actually doing any work now (i have a decent amount... including the ever-so-evil italian) i'm writing this and designing a new layout for my website... which is pretty pointless as theres absolutly nothing of any interest there :-S but it will take up time, which is good as theres not too many people back atm... most of them are back tomorrow... bored :S
