Dissertation and Revision (with inferred Procrastination)

Aye it is that time of year again, Exams (yayyyy!)

This year has been different however, with the supplementation of a dissertation to write too. Although this is fairly old news now, MY DISS IS DONE!!!! (genuine yayyyy!) and handed in. 

Although it was hard work, it was a surprising amount of fun to achieve the best part of nothing over the year. Yes I can reveal exclusively that my project proved to be nonviable on any scale as it didn't work, which in itself is a conclusion. Well the conclusion being that will was bloody ambitious to allow students to use reactants worth upto £100 for 5g... 

Having said that I now know a fair bit about the exotic sounding 'Iridium Complexes' (not as fun as it sounds) and cross coupling reactions (not sure where to go with that (you can make your own jokes for that one(disclaimer: if you offend yourself with your own joke, I did not lead you to it and therefore am not responsible, unless it was a funny joke, then I take full responsibility))) and other varying amounts of complicated words for things that are relatively simple. 

The obvious link to all this would be that magical work 'helping' association to revision and uni, procrastination. I have never known how interesting nutritional values and the ingredients to crisps are until I had NMR spectra to interpret, same with counting and sorting my random coppers lying about into date order and pattern. I joke, the dates would have been too much work, I would have started procrastinating in a vicious cycle.
Also the temptation to make the most of torrents to find new games and music and movies and pretty much whatever the hell else is incredible. It is amazing that I managed to resist all of this temptation and got on with my manager career of FIFA12, Oh errr I mean my 8,154 word report on my project (and FIFA) managing to be organised and not in a panic or writing on the day of submission. 


It's a first.... well hopefully

Well I haven't done this for a while

Well i haven't done this in a while..... Even with a lot of things to report on like an injury, another injury, some other injuries and (yes you guessed it) uni work...

I joke, things have been almost going well which isn't something I am that used to happening. Since I last updated my room has been tidy once and I have started my first  dissertation. That's almost like productivity!!! Take that doubters, no night before job on this one (majorly glossing over my 20hr marathon to do a stats report). In fact I am over 3/5ths the way through!!!

In other news, it may come as a surprise to you all but my room is also now tidy... Although granted this isn't completely of my own doing, it was the first time that I have felt oppression. I joke but there was a certain female 'influence' on the decision. Mind it has turned my room into a great place to practice my football skills, well certain skills, I can't practice shooting or long range passing, in fact I can't practice short range passing.
As part of this I even now have a system for my washing in the form of two washing baskets. A white one and a black one, I'm sure you can guess how this works. For the less intuitive among you, the white one is for white clothes and the black one is for, well, anything that isn't white. Works well I've found.


It has been Easter recently too and big things happened then, such as my gf coming to see Redcar (joy of joys for her...) and the surrounding area. She saw the amazing site that should be the beach if it wasn't for the 6ft sea wall that has been built, score one to idiocy in the counsel. Oh and the other incredible sight that is Redcar's Vertical Pier (and no I'm not making this up) 


A Vertical Pier, or a tower as anyone with half a brain stem would call it....

Ahhhh this thing

Wow it's been a while since I've done this.... Sorry all. As it is now 2012 I must give a belated happy new year I suppose

Happy New Year

There with that out the way, back to stuff that's a fair bit more interesting.

First things first, I have to say that if you see my facebook picture (probs on the right side of the screen if you scroll down a bit) it is a little misleading for two reasons

1. My hair is no longer a scraggy mess

2. I have a beard

The second is an official part of my face now, this signified by the fact that I have trimmed it, nothing tells people more that a beard is permanent than starting to trim it, in fact this could be extrapolated to any hair lets be fair (Disclaimer: where you take the mental image from that statement will say a lot more about you than what I intended to direct you towards)

In other news, things have been rather eventful in my world. I have a girlfriend (wooo) all those who assumed that I am just pure evil and a bit of a knob now have to think that either I'm actually a nice(ish) person or someone has seriously settled. The majority would assume the latter probs.....

But yeah, for those of you expecting vitriol (no not sulphuric acid(sorry geek joke)) I hate to disappoint

So I won't 

Uni is back which means only one thing.....

ANNOYING, RETARDED, STUPIDLY worked timetable....

To be fair most wouldn't complain about it getting a guaranteed 3 day weekend but the rest of it is stupid....

I mean who in their right mind schedules someone to have 1 lecture in a day for an hour? AND THEN PUT IT AT 5PM!!!!!! I mean by this point I should be on the xbox *cough* sorry revising/collating notes not just thinking that I need to go to a lecture.... And to make matters worse, the lecture this week lasted for a whole long massively extensive 10mins.......... waste of time? I would assume so too...

But granted it could be worse says the chorus of full time workers.

Oh also I will try keep this up a little more for a while, I even had hassle to write a new one this time!!!! (cheers to that anonymous fan.... Mum)
