Teaching!
Although I'm completely sleep deprived, today reminded me all over again why I want to teach. I feel completely uplifted and appreciated after helping a bunch of students understand Java and object-oriented programming better. When I arrived they were clueless and downhearted - when I left they were all motivated and driven to write good code. I ( Read more... ) -

My Darling Sarah!
Sarah Churchill-Bennett passed away last night :( She was the most fantastic pet - filled with love and podge and I will miss her dearly. She is by far the most obese rat that has ever been part of the family but I'm sure this was due to a conversation Richard had with her when she was only little telling her that it was her job to be fat mouse and ( Read more... ) -
Lying!
Ok, so after that sweet little message I decided I needed to rant. I am so annoyed right now with lying.

AH!
What a day. I have an unclassified degree since my dissertation and 2 courses haven't been marked. I found out I have a yes from both my potential PhD supervisors but funding for neither project. OMG. Now I need to decide what on earth I'm going to do. Stress. I am going mad. Apparently I'm not a very nice person to be around right now :( -
The end is nigh
Oh my goodness. Yes it's true - I am still alive. Imagine, isn't it quite shocking. I have two assignments left to do, neither of which I care to do. I'm burnt out and I need a holiday. But wait, I have exams in just over a month - so much for that plan. 7 exams coming to take my soul. I need to do well. I have to do well in order to get my PhD ( Read more... )
