Another year

Well, another (calendar) year is drawing to a close. I feel even older than I ever have right now, my university career is drawing to a close, I'm doing scary things like looking at Jobs.... And I feel about 50 sometimes!

That aside, I'm enjoying the course at the moment, as I've had a lot more say about what modules I actually study, and pretty much without exception at the moment, I am interested in the modules I'm doing and I can see how the whole course has "fitted together".

Other things are that it's bloody christmas again, really particularly badly timed this year, as I have a requirements spec to finish and then a shitload of coding to do in about the next month, not to mention the exams late January. However, I'm lucky on that front... I only have two and one of them (information society) I get the paper five days in advance to do some research :o) The other exam is internet architechture, and i'm fairly confident that with a bit of study i can get on top of that module pretty well, but we'll see.

Things seem a bit better at home, however, so Christmas should be a lot better than the last one, but as I've been so busy with one thing and another (and i must admit an awful lot of procrastination thrown in there) I've hardly had chance to think about, yet alone even acknowledge christmas, which means i've been very slack with making plans. Then again, not having any plans could very well be a good thing!

Also, I've been having a bit of a debate with myself about Instant Messaging (IM) I've decided that it is taking up a hell of a lot of my time (perhaps admittedly due to my own lack of discipline when using it) so I'm considering dropping using it for a while, at least until I've learned better time management! Well, this may never happen (rather like the exercise program) but we shall see!
