Would you rather travel 1st class to hell, or take the baggage cart to heaven?

QOTD


If I told you I could catch the bullet, would you pull the trigger?

Way overdue update


So seeing as I said I would try to make this 'regular' ... erm ... my bad?

But lack of internet so STFU! haha

Ok well on the cycling front I am definitely keeping with it, doing decent rides almost every day. I have noticed an improvement in pace, and endurance, though I have yet to really push it as much as I would like, something for the summer definitely. I have also noticed my confidence coming back. Leaning harder and faster into the less-grippy turns, and the fun ever increasing... I could bore the lot of you with a large cycling based rant... but perhaps keep it for a separate clearly marked post haha.

Eating, I have sadly more recently swapped out health for speed and cost, my revision diet is reduced to toast and 4-min pasta... but I am trying to have the once in a while hight protien... I am also sticking with the smoothie and apples, that's something atleast, and I am definately drinking alot more water than I have been before, so It's not all bad, even as I post this I am polishing off my 2nd litre of squash today.

Sleep with the exception of very recently has been better, I've been falling and rising earlier. One conclusion I have come to is that the lack of blackout curtains I experienced for a few days really helped, it got me round to a natural wake-up I guess, but I am strongly considering taking them off the curtains in my room when I get home, might even see me up and active before 10am in the holidays :O I would certainly like to be up and riding prior to doing whatever with my friends each day.

DRINK: I did drink, last weekend, I decided I needed a weekend away from the work and such. So I visited my favourite little twinnies up in Lincoln, and we went out, I was half-cut. It was nice, and I haven't drunk since, probably won't till some time in the unforeseeable future... So did I win or Lose that one GeeGee?

Anyways, after exams are done I'm going to try getting this all back into full swing again, who knows lol...

Until next time xxx

Metaphorical bodily waste colliding with air-based cooling device...


So back to reality, the shit has hit the fan somewhat at uni...

I only have a few weeks left, which include coursework deadlines and 3 exams

As of last week my waking hours have been 90% work, 5% cycling, 5% eating/cooking/showering.

I had a massive piece of work due in on Friday, I had to pull an all-nighter (or a Morgan) on Thursday night, programming for 10hours straight, to get my coursework in on time 4mins before the cut-off time. I would have done this during the day on Thursday, but 1:30 till 10:30 was spend with my friend either going to hospital, in hospital, and trying to get home, after his somewhat horrific bike crash that left him with a a broken collar bone amongst other things.

Then yesterday I started another program that has to be in Wednesday 4pm, this feels like next-to-no-time at all, but I am making good progress seeing as I am programming all day, and this should leave me free to get on with the write-up on the last day.

From then I have 5-days, 1 exam, 10-days, 2 exams and have yet to commence revision/vision? (seeing as I missed quite alot of lectures and I am assuming the first time occurrence of re-vising something is to 'vise' it?) but then it's my own fault, this is an update, NOT a sympathy plea.

But I think it is all achievable, I should certainly pass the year, though I'm sure my parents will not be too pleased at the lack of potential fulfilment... oops haha

It's been too long...


So it's been pointed out to me that I haven't posted for a while... turns out it's been a month.

Initially I thought that it sucked, but on the other hand, nice to know I'm missed eh?

Basically I have been without internet for a month. I got banned for use of peer-to-peer software. The blocking page when I tried to connect suggested that I email the service desk to arrange a meeting to get re-connected... bigger slice of irony anyone? So I did this from my phone. It got bounced the next day. I emailed again, this time case-sensitive. It got bounced again. So after about a week of lack of internet and lack of sensible resolution system in place I walked to the office where they deal with these things to talk to a 'human'.

After cueing for what must have been the best part of my natural born life, I was told that there was nothing that they could do, and that I needed to have a 'meeting' to discuss what I had done... "So can I have a meeting?" I replied... to which the translated response was "But that would be logic, especially as the office of the person who arranges these meetings is in the next office over. Instead we will make you wait for us to call you to arrange this, procrastinate for ages, and thus prove out inadequacy, in a way similar to whipping out a one-inch-wonder."

Two weeks passed, and still nothing...

I went in again and complained, stressed how in know uncertain terms "THIS IS TAKING THE PISS"... I meant, not only had my life crumbled around me without the internet, but I actually had coursework to do that required me having a constant internet connection while testing it, and submission via upload. I was then told that the best way was to call them... tomorrow... they person in the next room only works half days...

Alas I couldn't, I had coursework to do on various borrowed laptops with working internet.

Finally, on Friday, after about a month of no internet... I was reconnected, they phoned me up, and wanted me to say nothing more than that I know what I did was wrong, and I won't do it again, then they re-connected me... why tf could they not have done that in the first place... I would have happily spun then that lie ages ago had I known it's effectiveness...

So hopefully blogging abit more now eh...

Big love xxx

PS happy now GeeGee? ;P
