Over the Hill and Out the Door

These last few weeks have been a hard slog. I’ve been investing a good amount of time on my studies with my usual semester intent. Every semester I try to finish most of my major assignments as early as possible leaving me with plenty of time to relax and revise for future exams. Last Tuesday I managed to get over the hump leaving only 2 exams and one major assignment left with a month beore they are due. This is fantastic I think and I am very pleased.

Unfortunately since Wednesday I must have caught a cold and have had a painully sore throat. This is terrible for a few reasons; it restricts me from orally recieiting my upcoming Chinese speech (work is done just need to memorize) and my throat has been so sore that it has interupted my sleep which overall makes me feel even worse. It seems to be clearing up though which is positive.

I feel very lazy as in the past few days I haven’t done as much work due to my throat and the way things have worked out. I guess, from now until March next year I should have more time to blog as I will be in ShangHai for the later half of the year doing only Chinese language study which is not extremely taxing work as it is exactly what I want to be doing (work wise).

I’ve also been playing through the Syhpon Filter trilogy on the PSone for the 3rd time. This time I want to capture video and write a ew entries on it on the blog. Beyond that I haven’t been playing much else.

I’ve also reorganised Opera’s RSS feeds and the blogs in which I have subscribed to and the ones that I have bookmarked. This will be convenient for when I finally get around to sharing my blog with more people.

What else, of yeah I have officially been accepted into my University in ShangHai which is awesome. I will be living in the city centre which is completely rocking as this city is such a metropolis. I have been figuring out flight and travel plans as well as doing some general research.

I’m sorry that I haven’t kept this blog up to date, I have been so busy trying to complete my work that it has been hard enough updating the gaming blog let alone this one. Hopefully I will get better soon.

I’m really not use to having this free time, I’m use to pushing stuff aside and doing it later.
