The logical way of doing things

Not blogged for a while, it's been a bit of an uneventful 12 days, but at the same time I have been quite busy. Went to get the oil changed on the car on the saturday after previous blog, and was told that my shock absorbers were buggered, I get the feeling that they were kind of exaggerating, so I am going to investigate further, no real rush as I am just using the car to potter around at the moment.

Almost every day this week I have been woken up by roadworks outside - arrgh! What is it about builders? they start at 7.30am and then at 9am when they have successfully woken up everyone in the vicinity they decide to have a four and a half hour tea break. Great. If they wake me up in the morning I have decided that I am going to open the window and shout something about saturday being a sabbath and mutter something about the holy wrath of the JIHAD falling upon them.

Lectures have started well and truely, it's quite depressing how the workload is noticeably more than last year, however, what I do like is that things are getting a little more taxing and I won't just be sat there bored in lectures again :o) I've attempted to make a concious effort to acutally make proper notes and be a good student, this weekend I am going to acutally run through my notes and check them against the lecture slides filling in any bits I may have missed and stuff - you never know next I will acutually be revising for exams or such things!

Details of the group projects have been released, and the project will run for 2 semesters, eep, should be interesting... I've been advised by friends to completely avoid any of the "managerial" type group roles if at all cots, I can see where there coming from, but I think that might be a bit of a challenge to get a whole teams of semi-randoms (the groups are tutorial groups) to acutally do some work :)

Last friday night when pete came down, had a good night, was quite good to have another one of "those" nights ending up in the pier, and they played some good tracks, in one mix they did they played a song that I have been trying to identify for ages, and the name was given to me - Scooter - The logical song, and I have been playing it quite a lot myself this week, which has lead to it becoming another one of the flat/house songs of choice and it can be herd all over the house (the ghostbusters theme was had a similar status last year) , think I might get sick of it soon, but I have just obtained the video!

Well, got a quiet weekend coming up, but last real quiet one for a bit, got a weekend away with my course coming up, so won't have many spare weekends to clean up odd ends. Tommorrow also brings food shopping *fun*.
