Catch Up
Argh! I was aiming to try and keep up with posting here but university is getting in the way.
first: I was in my first trampolining competition back at the end of February, competing in the Novice category, came 19th out of 50. Given that there were people in that category who have been doing trampolining for 6 months or more longer than I have, I' ( Read more... ) -
4 months...
Well, that was a rather longer gap than I intended. Since October:- My birthday has happened (parents visited, their camper van broke as they arrived in Edinburgh, just about got them to their hotel then conked out. All fixed now but rather more bus travel than expected that weekend, and no ikea trip either)
- Exam happened (FINALLY got marks back ( Read more... )

Careers Fair Swag
Or 'Taking Charge of my Destiny!'
So, fourth year. If all goes to plan I still have the best part of two years before I graduate, but that is still much closer than I feel happy with. And on Wednesday (and Tuesday, but I didn't go that day) there was a careers fair, so off we toddled to collect our share of the freebies on offer, and maybe, in the ( Read more... ) -
Life and Fourth Year
Bloody hell, bloody hell, bloody hell, I'm in fourth year. Thankfully it's not been too different from third year yet (except that everything is slightly easier than at the end of last year. I don't expect this to last long), although one of my courses hasn't actually started yet, so I don't quite know what that's going to be like. Nor have any of ( Read more... ) -
Placement Part The Last
So I'm sat in a travelodge about halfway between Leicester and Edinburgh. I'm feeling really quite bereft that I'm not going to be getting up at 8am to be in the office at 9. I mean, ok so I can still get up at 8am but it won't be the same. I'm really surprised at how sad I am that I'm not going to have to be getting up early any more (well, not ( Read more... ) -
Placement Part 2
So I failed at blogging again last week, how do people manage to do a full time job, do all the stuff like laundry and cooking and still manage to blog?! I'm getting in, doing the washing up and cooking, and by then it's gone 9pm and thinking in sentences is almost beyond me. But, despite that I am still really enjoying this placement. I'm ( Read more... ) -
Placement!
Ok, so July was pretty much a fail on the blogging front. In my defence, the last two weeks have been the first two of my placement at Leicester University. And bloody hell, a 9-5 job, 5 days a week is knackering, I spent most of the first week getting in and then taking about 3 hours to recover enough to get myself to cook. But two weeks in ( Read more... ) -
Geekery!
Well, ok, technically what I mean by that title is "I have dipped my toes into the shallows of the sea of tech geekery and lo, it was good!" In other words I have finally tried installing Ubuntu on my netbook ( Read more... ) -
Photodump
Despite not having very much timetabled since exams finished a month and a half ago I have managed to completely fail to post anything here in about three weeks. Mostly this is just going to be a photo dump for some of the stuff I've taken over the last couple of months, clicking on the photo should take you through to the relevant picasa album.
