The Dissertation three

Well the word count hasn’t gotten any further but I had my presentation today and it went really well so here’s hoping….

Dissertation Part 1

I have just hit the thousand word mark on my eight thousand word dissertation.

I believe an apt phrase may be *woop*

happy holidays.

I’m drunk, after having an enjoyable evening with friends and settling in for the night. Happy holidays y’all!

J1 questions

Right, I’m thinking of heading on the J1 to the United States (though Canada could also be nice) but I know bugger all about USIT and such similar groups. Anyone out there have personal experience/advice they want to share?

The ‘Wispa’ brings back memories…

Or at least mine anyway, I’d forgotten how much food could bring back ones memory. Eating that bar I felt like I was a child again.

Anyway, this post has nothing to do with anything really, I apologise for the lack of posts lately - the whole ‘return to college’ + ‘final year’ things are keeping me rather busy! Hopefully I’ll get back into the swing of things soon…

An email I just sent to someone

”hows about “The Necessary Attributes” or something along those lines…?? “The Necessary Attributes of a future shag”?? “The Necessary Attributes of my future partner will include an alcohol cabinet”? and so on…

Ive been home for too long… ”

Whats worse is that that particular email will make sense to them….

Unemployment

Today, for the first time in 7 years I became unemployed. Granted In the last 7 years I have had a few days between jobs (in one case, being strictly honest 2 months) but today, for the first time ever, I finished a job with no real desire (or likelyhood) to move into another.

There is a slightly odd feel to this. For an awful long time going to work has been a part of my weekly routine. Having the money has been part of my routine, and that odd satisfaction that you get from the combination of the two has also been a part of my weekly routine. Yet, while I don’t want too be giving my age away too much, I probably got a first job a bit young. Not that I’m complaining mind you, its just that I’m now a bit young to feel like I’ve been working forever…

Anyways, it’s not like I’ll have that much free time coming up - final year in college looks to be busy. At the moment my count in college for essays numbers about 30,000 words. That’s not counting things like the reading that will involve or anything. Still though, overall I have to admit that its a good thing. My reading list has not shurnk at all and I have gotten a load of dvds and other books recently.

Anyway, I just felt that this ‘landmark’ in my life should be marked somehow … so, I’m having a beer. Might as well do go into unemployment in style…

Just one of those weeks…

Despite trying both the phone and the internet I wasn’t able to get arcade fire tickets.. Arggghhh

you’d have to wonder at times…

Today I found myself having a conversation/argument about how Jesus Christ, Jack the Ripper and Santa Claus are three fictional characters based on history..

Going offline

Right. Well in order; my music player seems to be on the fritz, firefox is dead to me with this google toolbar shite (and I can’t seem to find a version without it anywhere) and my internet connection never lasts more than five minutes with the replacement box that was meant to stop me being knocked offline every TEN minutes. Fuck this, I’m having many bottles of beer and watching a Danish horror movie. Once this shit is sorted, I’ll try start posting properly again.
