I want to Live in a Wooden House

October 15, 2005

Taken from We never change from Coldplay, suits the mood really.

Okay lets see, done a bit since last time. Spent a few days doing nothing much really. Got back into volunteering at the library which is great. Gotta get 60hrs for my Duke of Ed Gold Award. Should have done 15hrs by the end of the holidays. w00t! Went over to some mates places which was cool. Its been good one of my friends has been in contact with my brother and I like almost everyday. Either meeting him or ringing each other up. What a true friend.

Been playing the ol’ Playstation a bit recently. Went thru some old games but have been stuck to the excellent Vagrant Story. I never got into that game beforehand but I figured out where I went wrong and have been lapping it up. I read today that IGN gave it 9.6, well deserved. It’s the only game that I’ve been playing. Wait I’ve been pissing around in the Timesplitters 2 multiplayer, finally got a good work out of that at my friends place. It was great just 3 of us who are really into the game unlike the aforementioned person whom isn’t a bit fan and hardly plays seriously. So we got a good run thru, about 4hrs worth, we were having a blast. So I’ve been playing a bit of that as well.

The volunteering has been great, since Chris(my brother) and I have been doing it during the week we have met a few more people that work there. In fact we’ve become quite popular there. I really enjoy volunteering there, I don’t know why but I really enjoy it. It’s relaxing and its good to help people. One of the people also told us about how we’d apply for a job there, volunteers get first notice on job opportunities. I’d love to work there. Talking about work I should start next week or be allocated a position then.

For the first part of this week I did a truckload of programming and revision(BTW new tutes up at NRX, one done this week and the other 3 last week). Don’t think that I’ll be able to make my goal in programming this holidays. Its just so hard. Thing is I spent most of the revision time on Maths B and that’s it! I started going on a bit of a revision binge. Eventually burnt myself out, just couldn’t get some of the latest stuff whatsoever. After that I didn’t do too much. Had trouble sleeping for the most ridiculous reason. Drinking too much water, gotta get up and pee. On Thursday I didn’t do much woke up at 11AM went to volunteer ’till 4pm got home, walked around aimlessly for 1hr, had tea and then a Vagrant Story binge for about 3hrs. Crazy. Today I was so spaced out after mowing the lawns I spent an hr pulling out weeds from the front lawn because I just wanted to. Had nothing better to do. Just spent the last while getting irritated at the damn programming book. They cover too much too quickly, most of the basics in 60 pages then they expect you to know all of that and jump into the exercises doing stuff they hadn’t even told you. Oh well. At leats I can get thru about 6/13 of the exercises. Not all of them are meant to be 100% complete all of the time. But if I see another annoying const char to char conversion syntax error argh!!! What I’m doing is University level anyways. They are assignments really.

I’m feeling half spaced out ATM. Too much at once. I spose that I’m just one huge anxiety bomb. Least I’ll be able to see some mates tomorrow, ah yes James, haven’t seen him in 6 weeks due to him galangel fever.Miss him dearly.

BTW been hiring out a tonn of stuff from the library, here goes:

CDs
- The Long Road-Nickel back

Music DVDs
- The Scientist-Coldplay
- Live in Verona-Jamiroquai (100% jealous of Jays dance moves officially)

BTW did I mention that Chris fucked up my Winamp? Can’t see it in the taskbar now. Toss.
