Class Update

Okay I've fixed my timetable. It took a while and I didn't even need to use a TARDIS. Instead of doing Interior Design, I am now doing Cryptology.
It looks very fun too, so I guess it worked out for the best. I still have to go to two different campus' right after each other though, so that is going to be a bit dicey.

Early Rising, Late Falling

Well now it is the third day back at uni, and as I said before I am really tired. I have to wake up at 5am (just like the sun) and trudge off to classes at 8am. Some days I don't get home till 8pm (a new shift at work, hurray).
It also looks like this whole year will be very work intensive. Eight assignments and a test for the first semester, and who knows for the second half of the year.
I don't think I will be able to keep up with everything (like games), or have as much fun (with games), and I won't stay up to date with the interweb (Penny Arcade and LFG ftw).

This year is starting to look as bad as the economic downturn (or recession for those in the UK and US).

One can only hope the holiday period will help rejuvenate my will to game and other fun related activities.

Day Two

Damn it!
Two classes clash, and apparently (according to the unit coordinators) they are both really important.
On top of that this is my second day starting really early (5am starts) and it is really taking it's toll.
I'm already tired and I also have to teach this afternoon :(
On the plus side I can now connect to the wireless internet on campus with my little Eee PC. I had to get a fellow student to configure the Linux system.

First Day Back

So it has been about three months since uni finished, and now it has come back.
YAY!
Now I won't be bored and play games as much. So in the following weeks I will be posting my ideas for my classes with pictures and artwork. The only downside is that this semester looks like it is very heavy workload.
BOO!!!
But I'm sure I will be able to do everything.
Also this year I am aiming for higher grades - the 5-7 mark - so my GPA goes up (it's on a measly 4.6 at the moment).

New Classes

Well nothing much has really happened since I last posted. But I finally get my own classes to coach gymnastics this year.
Yay!
At the moment I've got three pre-level classes, which is like a beginner class for children. I've only done one of the classes, but this week I start on the other two :)
Hopefully they will all have fun and are fast learners.

Picnic at the Beach

My picnic on Sunday finally happened (took two weeks to organise).
It was a really nice day as well, practically no clouds in the sky.


Some people at the same beach.
A lot of the beaches were occupied, so my friends and I had to drive for a few minutes before we found an area with less people (as well as sufficient shade).


There were still a lot of people though.

Here are a few of the things we had for lunch.

Pikelets with honey and cream or jam and cream, choc chip cupcakes, crackers and cheese. We had Pepsi and Lemon Lime & Bitters as our beverages.
Though we were in shade, I still got sun burnt on my arms and legs.

Wearing way too much black.
A massive amount of cream on her pikelet.
All in all, a great day.

The New Year

Hi everyone.
I've been away for a very long time, too much time playing computer games and not enough on the assignments and internet :)
Hopefully I'll be a lot more active this year.

In the mean time here are a few websites to keep you company till I return.

I hope they give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
