They are calling it holidays, but they are dirty rotton liers

Well, I have well and truely finished Uni for the year. It is the end of my first year and quite frankly, im glad its over. I had so much stress during the exams, as I couldnt study for some strange reason, which made me pissed off, which made it harder to study, then people kept annoying me and things happened, so it really made it hard to study. The euphoric feeling when I got home from my last exam was overwhelming. The stress just lifted away. Its such a great feeling coming home and knowing you don't have to do anything. Of course anyone that knows me knows that this lasts about a week, then I start going crazy from lack of motivation.
So I took up some work.
As a maths genius and programmer that just finished his first year, there isnt alot of career related work for someone like me. Sure, I could go and see if anyone needs a webpage built or something like that, but the harsh reality is that these dream jobs, the ones where you create a webpage for a client and get paid $500... well they do happen, just not often. And you can never count on it. Even when you do find a client. I recently had a $400+ programming job go bust on me about half way (15 hours man work) into it. Lessoned learned: get a deposit before you start any job.
Anyway, so my uncle got me a job, basically just sanding and painting skirting boards in a huge 100-square house he is building (the house is worth over a million dollars easily). The house is incredible, though it is ill-designed. By ill-designed I mean its a cuboid with about half the doors it should have.
However, this work only lasts a week, and its very tiring. Just two days into it, my back aches, by knees are bruised and my upper inner thigh (yes, go ahead and laugh) is strained. Could just be im a pussy, but Ill get through it, the only problem is that the rest of my work is with skirting boards on the floor, which might I add, the carpet hasnt been put in yet, stupid hardwood floors.

I have a couple of holiday goals to get done. Hopefully going down this list will allow me to stay sane. The list is as follows and will be changed whenever:
- Create a working website. Ive had this on the list for ages, but never been able to get around to doing it. I hate learning more then one language at a time, doing my webpage would require learning PHP/MySQL and I was learning Java at Uni, so I didnt want to go learning two sytaxs
-Finish my java game: its currently in stage 0.2. I can create a level with an end goal and a starting point, obsticles and traps. However, there is no decent representation of the level, just a text print out. Oh, and I dont have a character to move around yet. So its not really a game, just a level editor.
- Save a lot of money. This is required for my next goal:
- Move out. I currently live with relatives, but am planning on moving out next year closer to uni and with my friends. It should be fun. I am currently deciding wether to blog it here or make a new blog for it. Ive just then decided to make a new blog, and here it is!

Well, now you are caught up on my happenings, we can get back to normal business. Like not updating our blogs.

Sing sing sing!

Today is the start of my two week break from Uni lectures. Generally I go crazy during holidays (note the lack of sarcasm) and end up craving formallity in my life again. This holidays however, i am finally able to relax and get through all the stuff that has been building up over the last term of Uni. First off the list was cleaning the car and pool room. By pool i mean pool table. Its now clean, and it is and it is good.
Next on the list is my room, which stayed relativly clean during the term. Except for the washing pile that is about 90cm by 40cm by 60cm high, its all in working order.

I tried blogging for the first time in ages because I was bored, but I still am. talking about a boring day really isnt that exciting. If I had some clowns to act out the physical parts it might be good. oo, Ill talk about tomorrow

Tomorrow i am going to play basketball with some friends. This is great fun, except it highlights to us how unfit we have all become since finishing highschool last year. After highschool, the motivation to do sport is less, and the time to do it becomes shorter. and so the ass expands beyond its previous boundries.
I plan to get fit for the Australian summer, but unless I get attacked by a gang of gymnasts yeilding ab-rollers, I doubt anything major will happen. The last time I got closer to being fit was when I did 30 situps to see if I could. Breathing hurt after that. The last time I lost some weight was last week when I had the flu and coulndt eat. Ive come up wiht the perfect weight loss plan where I simply sneeze on all my customers and give them the flu where they can loose 5kgs like I did. It will work. It will be good, and It will be.

Tomorrow night, my friend is bringing his dad's projector over and we are going to watch some 'legal' movies. This brings up a problem. I can either invite my friend Al, or my friend Sara. If I invite one, I cant invite the other, since rumours will start about how I love Sara, which I dont. Al and Sara hate each other. Sara dated Al's best friend, and one of my close friends. Me and Sara met outside the relationship, however when they broke up, suddenly I wasnt allowed to be friends with Sara anymore, every mention of her by me gets me cut back, which sucks, coz I value her as a friend alot more then alot of my other friends. Cant win em all...

The taller they are, the harder they... are to get inside.

An interesting week.

Ill start with Sunday, where I worked. Nothing too bad. I pulled about 3x as much sales as I usually do for the same time period/day, which would be a good thing, except Im not on commision. Anyway, after that, i went to my dad's house to pick up a new tallboy :D. For those who dont know, a tall boy is a chest of drawers about 5 x 3 x 2 feet. I had to borrow my pop's ute to go pick it up, and for a old person's car, that thing flys :D

But i drive carefully of course.

And I got it home, and i had to borrow a trolley to get it through the house, which was really hard, coz they have narrow corners. I had to go through a side door and walk it almost all the way through the house. The last turn into my room was run, but i only knocked the wall twice.

It now has my clothes in it, which means my closet is now holding computer parts and boxes that were scattered randomly around my room. (I KNOW Im never going to use them, but im not exactly going to get rid of them am I?)

So with those boxes and stuff out of the way, I hnow have more room in my erm, room. The moral of this story: Don't pass up a free tallboy.

Of doing nothing

A week of doing nothing.
Jelous? Envious? Possible enraged to the point of contemplating homicide?

Dont be.
I have recently found out, that with nothing to do, my brain suddenly drops to a much lower capacity then normal. I got up today at 10.30am, which is a little early I admit. I then spent the next 9 hours straight on the internet.
"Geez you must of downloaded something good in that time"
- Er, no, not really

"Geez, you must of read alot of interesting news pieces about current affairs and the world of tomorrow?"
- Wrong again

"Geez, you must of spent it in chat and at KoL"
-Yup

So more then achieving nothing today, by playing KoL, I think I'm worse off then if I had of stayed in bed and slept through the day.

To explain exactly how I achieve nothing in a day, its important to find out how my room is set up.
I have my bed in the middle of the room. Next to that is my chair. If it werent for food and sleep, 90% of my time would spent on those two items.
As well as that, I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, so i can laze back and not have to worry about cords. I can turn on my computer and my tv, while sitting in this chair. I can turn them both off and goto bed with only two finger presses and a single step.

And as such, nothing is acheived, if nothing is there to motivate me. And today, and for this week, nothing will be there to motivate me.

"Geez moges, you have exams next week, shouldnt you be studying?"
-Shut up, only my friends are aloud to call me moges... but to answer your question, I found out yesterday that my exams are all scattered thoughout 2 weeks. And there are only 4 exams, and that is all there is. Meaning, I have at LEAST one full day to study subjects that I already know back-to-front. Hence my current situation where I have time, but nothing to do.


And so I blog...

One week of school left

The next three weeks pan out like this for me:

Week 1- the last of uni classes, 2 assignments due (both worth roughly 30% of their corresponding subjects) and 1 lab test worth 15% of my mark for programming 1

Week 2- SWATVAC, the worlds best ever 7 letter acronym. Study Without A Teacher VACation. basically a week off, where my only job to do is to study some notes. Not only that, but i can then USE that as an excuse to get out of the most basic of chores, like showering.

Week 3- Exams. While most people piss their pants and revert to the fetal position, I enjoy exam week. Its basically SWATVAC with a couple of appointments. Exams arent all that tough either, you just gotta know how to fake an answer if your not sure. As well as that, the exams are being done in just the uni, so there is less pressure then the High school version where the whole state does the same exams at the same time, under the same conditions.

So, if you dont hear from me this coming week, expect a hell of a lot for the following week.

Also, add this page to your favourites. I heard from a jazz musician that its the new "in" thing.

If I wasnt before, I definatly am now

Nerd
Its an expression thrown around alot these days, and personally, I think too much. However, I do now have my own blog, and well, I think the term fits perfectly.
I decided to set up a blog, rather then worry about learning PHP and MySQl to create my news page. Its just how lazy I really am.
