One Wheel Short of a Unicycle...

There are only 2 things to worry about

Either you are well or you are sick

If you are well there is nothing to worry about and

If you are sick there are 2 things to worry about

Whether you will get well to whether you will die

If you get well there is nothing to worry about

But if you die there are only 2 things to worry about

Whether you go to heaven or hell

If you go to heaven there is nothing to worry about

If you go to hell you will be so busy shaking hands with old friends you would not have time to worry

So why worry?

So the plan is to recreate the challenge set by top gear producers to find the best driving road in Europe. This mega voyage will take in the best scenery that Europe has to offer, with spectacular views to be seen along the twisty mountainous roads in southern Switzerland / Northern Italy. The short list of the roads we're looking into travelling on are:

So it seems that I have really neglected this blog somewhat, having not posted anything new for over 3 YEARS!!!! Uni wise not alot has happened over the past 3 years, to summarise: 3rd year of uni (and end of second year) was pretty standard, going out, lectures, c/w, exams exams exams blah blah blah etc. I spent an amazing year out living and working for an aerospace company based in Gloucesterhire to earn my DIS (Diploma in Industry Studies), and am hoping to go back to them on their leadership development program once I graduate! Final year of uni has been stressful, even though i don't have lectures as such, the onus is now totally on me to organise my time and to motivate myself to do work… which as it conspires is quite hard to do (hence currently playing the "uni work avoidance update a blog that hasn't seen any new posts for 3 years" card!)

Anyhoo this is just a short update post for now to show i'm still alive! I shall try my hardest from this day forth to regularly post to this as often as I can! =)

I'm now at home for Christmas (4 weeks off!) and after the chaos of the last 2 weeks I definitely need a break. The last few weeks have been spent mostly doing coursework (one day spent 12 hours doing c/w!), as well as sorting everything out in order to come back home. I stumbled across some photos that I must of taken on my digital camera (and forgotten about) when I first moved into the apartment:






Anyhoo, that's all for now, got to continue sorting the mess that is my room :-(

What a busy week. This is the first time since I got back on Monday that I've had a chance to write my blog. After getting back on Monday morning and dropping my stuff off at the house with half an hour to spare, I then had lectures until 6pm. Tuesday was even worse as I ended up spending over 12 hours of work, comprising of 8 hours of lectures and 4 hours of coursework! Wednesday was not as bad as after the morning lectures I went to watch the new James Bond movie in Leicester followed by fish and chips from the local chippy (which were both great). Today I've had some lectures this morning, and have a board meeting for my project group for 2 hours this afternoon.

Bit of a boring post, but I'll talk more about my interesting project in a later post as I'm getting hungry, so that's all for now. (Photos to follow once I have my camera from home)

Now that I have sorted everything out (house, internet, coursework etc) I have some time to write some posts. I'm now living with 2 of my mates in an upstairs apartment in the middle of Loughborough town centre. It is alot better than last year, especially the food. At first I thought that I would not enjoy cooking the food, (mainly because I'm lazy), but I have found that it is quite fun. Having ventured away from ready cooked meals (boo!) I'm now surprising myself by cooking Shepards pie, Chinese stir fry, spaghetti bolognaise etc and of course the mandatory pizza every now and then :-)

Part of the reason I've not been posting was because in the first 3 weeks I was on the phone to Tiscali most of the time, trying to sort out why they had not activated our line- (which in the end took over 28 days!). Then when everything with Tiscali was sorted, the wireless router decided to play up and make our network "disappear" for no reason.

So all in all it was a stressful first few weeks, but now that everything is sorted and I'm settled in I'm starting to enjoy my course more and the free time that I have (not that there is much of it!)

More posts on the way (with pics hopefully) after my visit to my Nan & Granddad's over the weekend.

Just a quick post to say I'm still alive. More posts on the way later this week, I promise.
