Sessions Revisited
November 28, 2005
Exams are over for the year! Which is excellent news, the start of the Christmas holidays. Did I mention that things are falling into place? Well they are and falling at the right time in the best place.
The exams were okay and slightly surprising. Maths B wasn’t that difficult, I think that I did okay with that one which is good as I’ve been trying so hard at it. Physics was bizarrely quite straight forward, did well with that one I think. IT was pretty messed up, they made a few big boo boos which kinda put me off the exam a bit. Almost got the exam cut in half because of network failures which were resolved. I did mixed with IT. Maths A which was on today I found in a triffle challenging but so many other people said that it was easy. Beats me I really couldn’t be too fussed about it though.
After Maths A I said my goodbyes to a few people which was kinda heart warming. Said my last goodbye to Nanami the Japanese exchange student, Chris and I got a picture with her about 2 weeks ago so that’s alright. Might get it up in the pictures section soon enough, just gotta con some friends into saying yes and the album will be chockas.
Last weekend Chris won a game at the LPC which is a lan, games tournament event which we go to. It was Hulk Ultimate Destruction for Gamecube which I’m really lapping up, Its such a fine game. Probably because its got s similar structure to the GTA series. That’s another thing that I gotta pick up some GTA games for PC. Chris and 2 other friends went in, I had to work.:( Supposively they all had a great time and wanna go again which is good. Next one is next year which should be good. Chris won Hulk for coming 2nd in a Mario Kart DD comp, which is so humiliating because Chris has nothing on me in Mario Kart. Oh well.
It was cool after the Maths A exam, saying bye to people. Its also great as my close friends were all in the same place. Some of them on NRX which was great, got another friend onto NRX which is nice. Like the others he seems to be enjoying it there. Then we left to the train station and had some great conversation going. Once we got closer to home I popped in the local library and told them that we’d be back for doing some volunteering over the holidays, also picked up U2 How to dismantle an anotic bomb and Massive Attack 11 Promos(DVD). Massive Attack are just plain weird, I think that I’ll give them a miss. U2 is good, oh and there coming to Adelaide in March! When browsing the library the Live version of Yellow by Coldplay came on the TV which helped continue to push the streak.
Found out my work hrs when I got home. I didn’t even ask for any extra hrs or mention that schools finished and I got 16hrs which is fantastic. Got my holidays hrs sorted out as well which is great. I also got a call from John, he wants to head into Adelaide soon so we’ll go in a few days. Therefore I can pick up Accelerated C++. Kerching.
Sool good at this end, all good.

We Use to Shake the Beehive
November 14, 2005
I hate this time of year, Right before exams. But its worst this year as there is no school and instead time to revise before the exams. It makes it worse because its not quite holidays. Its so pain stakingly close but yes exams are in the way. So I’ve been doing the necessary revision for my first exams; Maths B. I want to go really well in the exam as I have found it such a through subject which is full to the brim with stuff and quite a challenge. But damn this revision is really pushing my self discipline. Luckily we had a chapter test last week so I am pretty good at one of the chapters which is of the exam. I’ll say one thing, they are 2 friggin huge chapters. At least I have that and then a few days later Physics which gets my 2 biggies out of the way. Plus only 4 exams overall!
I feel so tired due to all of this damn brain work. Plus the hayfever. Argh I cannot wait till exams are over. But then I gotta arrange some events to happen as I feel as though this holidays we’ll be my busiest yet. Oh and I’ve also been using my new phone a bit. Its pretty cool. Got a few text messages from people which is great.
Work is going well, we now have the new registers and I get trained sometime this week which should be fun. Got an extra hr of work for this week as well. Goody! I should hopefully be able to pick up a laptop near Christmas due to the stock take sales.
I also now have Mario Kart DS which is a great game. Haven’t been playing it too much though. Oh and we should be getting the new kitchen put in soon as well. Things aren’t looking bad just hope that things turn out well enough. I wanna return to C++ some time as well. I spose I’ll do some NRX stuff in the mean time.

Dentrigate
Aye what a week. Its closing in on the end of school and the start of another holiday season. Man I am so dying to pick up my laptop near Christmas. I’m pulling out all of the stops to ensure that I can get it asap. So I won’t be buying much until Christmas. Infact only some prezzies, Mario Kart DS and maybe some small things on the side. I just gotta save up for this laptop. I know the one that I want and its for a pretty good deal. Its an Acer laptop, Windows Xp Home, 1024mb of ram, 100gb hard drive, multi layered DVD burner and the right wireless stuff. For $2000. Pretty damn good deal if you ask me.
You might ask why I am so desperate for a laptop. Its mainly so that I can use a computer when I need to. As ATM I don’t really get much of a chance with my brother sucking up every spare second of his life on the ruddy thing. I wouldn’t over use it or anything. Just so that I can freely use it without him getting in a tizzy and at the same time having enough time to get somewhere. I plan on re-launching my coding with a new and much easier book to learn. As well as some other large projects that I wanna blitz through. Did I mention the new NRX as well. Yeah they should all keep me busy.
All I gotta do is get there. So I’d better stop thinking about it and start doing some stuff. Phew, can’t wait for some freedom. Yay!
On a pleasing note the NRX boards have jumped up in the past few days, our hits have been going increasingly up and up. Not to mention a more variety in our members. Its all great to see.
The terrible hay fever season has been terrible. I’ve had a headache for most of the weekend. Ugh. To make it worst I have to put up with Chris who is as moody, selfish and god damn smelly as all hell. Argh get me away from him! Anyways I wanna go to bed. Chow.
Got some great ideas for here. By the time Chris uploads this they’ll prolly be up already so yah.:/
Wait a sec Mario Kart DS out next week and it’ll be all mine!!!

Sharp Shot
November 4, 2005
I’ll start with a low point. No Coldplay concert. It was set up at a difficult time for James and myself. Oh well.
I chose the title this week because I feel as though ATM all that I need to do is to line things up and go for the final shot to cap off a great year. In fact its probably been my best school year this year. To line things up I feel as though I need to revise enough, get a few details from friends for the holidays and progress at work. I feel confident that I can do all of those things by schools end.
Something that has really been bugging me since I got home has been something that I don’t have and hardly consider picking up. A mobile phone. I was talking to one of my friends and brought it up for some reason, I’m meant to be getting some shitty old one in the next week and I feel really excited about it. So what I want to do is get the numbers of well plenty of people so that we can do stuff over the holidays. Some people that I’ve talked to surprisingly seem to not do much(or maybe they just say that? Beats me) so I want to do something with them. Brighten their day a bit and mine too I spose.
Did I mention that I started work yesterday? I really enjoyed it. There are plenty of people from school that work there. Its great. Although plenty of people seem to bag out the place. The people seem nice so I’m guessing that its mainly due to the organization of things. Behind doors it’s a bit of a dump so yeah that too. Luckily I had a friend that I’ve know since grade 3 helping me out in the department that I’m working in. Plus I’m starting with some friends. Actually that’s if you can call one of them a friend, they squirted me with a water pistol as I was leaving maths. Arrgh, oh well it was their last day.
Anyways had a great Friday today as I usually do. I’ve been on a high from Thursday.;) ‘cept Chris has been as cranky as hell. I have no idea WTFs up with him. He chucked a few spew beforehand because I wanted to jump on the PC. He had ages on Thursday to use it and then he chucks a mental at me. Then he suddenly decides to pack up our Playstation(been playing the fabulous Vagrant Story recently, go retro!). He really has lost his touch. I think that after Pollution Solution(our game, see NRX for details) he got so use to using the computer all the time and has kept it up with NRX(our site). He spends a few hours and night on it, everynight and more on the weekends. I hardly get to use it. Its one of the reasons why I want a laptop so much. So that I can get time to code on a holiday afternoon. Never been able to use the computer to code for more than 2.5 hrs. So I want a laptop. Oh and for other reasons. My Winamp Most played list is full of bad songs by great artists like Burrito by Seether and Ms Sargenito(?) by U2 are near the top while songs like Fine Again and many Coldplay tracks are left at the bottom. Boo! Oh and I’m also annoyed because he never seems to have enough time to upload this; my blog. By the time this is up I want to live in a wooden house would be stuck in the archives. He’s only doing it because I don’t advertise NRX during my lunch times at school. BTW in the last umm well..quite a while I’ve been using the net less and less, don’t really give a toss about doing much on it. Anyways he’s being a jerkhole. He’s prolly gonna read this as I can’t use Dreamweaver for shit. Argh(again). Least I’ve still been whooping can in IT. Yeah go databases!*forward the complaint mail to Chris*.
I’ve got some other stuff that I wanna say but I don’t wanna write it up. So yeah. Lets see, I gotta find a girlfriend some time. Been on the prow but I can’t figure out if people are interested in me or just wanna be mates. So I’ll just keep on going see if anything interesting happens. NRX hits have been wayyyy up. Dunno why but its great. Been reading Going Solo by Roald Dahl, I know that it’s a sorta teen book but well yeah I couldn’t be stuffed reading it in grade 3.:) Oh and I need more ram or Chris has been messing with the PC ro something, again laptop.
Stay cool and give me a buzz if you wanna provide some feedback or whatever. I have been meaning to add a profile page and some more piccies but yeah Dreamweaver and Chris won’t do it for me. BTW Chris and I will actually use our camera next LPC.
Thanks for reading.
