I've not posted for ages. Thought I would. I'm sat in Dylans (Uni bar) at the moment, it's 9:45am and I've come to University because I had an assignment due today. I miss this place. If you ever have the opportunity to attend University and think you've got what it takes (mainly endurance and a bit of passion) then I would recommend you do.
Anywho... Yes, I've been up all night finishing up on an assignment I felt I had sorted... And it has turned out pretty great, but it could have been better, and I still ended up posting it into the wee box at 8:55am, 5 minutes before the due time. No matter how much I try, I still cannot get out of the habbit of last-minute assignment submissions.
Being here always reminds me of when I was last properly in education, the good old days of college. They were good days. I was happy. Ashley was happy. We played games, wrote about computers when we had to, slept a lot, and had a good time every so often. This new-year I might actually suggest we stay in and have a nostalgic Ashley & Graham night... We have accumulated a lot of stuff and memories over the years and he remains my bestest of friends. Years and years of friendship.
I've been working on University stuff in favour of work these past few days. Mainly because there was a deadline pressing. I can't believe how much time I had spent on the assignment, must be somewhere between 80 - 100 hours. Far too much, fo'shizzles.
I've felt very depressed for the last three weeks or so. The fact that I was unable to discipline myself into working at full-capacity annoyed me enough to make me not bother at all. This tends to affect me a lot of the year. If I don't try my hardest, if I don't have the feeling I'm working to the best of my abilities, then I tend to just get upset. It's not so bad though, I'm still happy day-to-day, and confident that once I get back from America I will (hopefully) feel refreshed and ready to go at it full-steam ahead.
I'm going to America! Again! Yay! Only this time it isn't 50% for the experience and 50% for a friend. It's very selfish, I'm going 100% for me, for enjoyment, to be with Rachel again. My flight is at 4:30am tomorrow morning, which is only 18 hours for the now. I'm looking forward to it, but there is still a bunch of stuff to get done as soon as I'm able to return home. More about this trip later.
Ashley and Shanna have split up, at least from Ashley's perspective, I don't know if Shanna has even noticed. My only thought on this is that they should both sit down and actually talk about things. I know it's what Ashley wants, and I don't blame him. I'd be crushed too if my girlfriend didn't give a care in the world.
I'm going to find out where we're supposed to be demonstrating our programs of wonder. I'll post some more later.
