Home of the Dutch Gecko

Exams suck. No really, they do. Though everything seemed to float by pretty smoothly this year (as opposed to the incredible feeling of “oh shit” last year), nothing could make me feel more relieved than getting back to a normal student rhythm. Modules this term are actually looking pretty interesting, with even the maths appearing doable at first sight.

With the frightening regularity of it all, a new feeling is entering the fray - I feel like a sack of tatties (that’s potatoes to you southerners). I’ve ceased doing anything, with the height of activity being hoovering the house on Sunday - after waking up in the afternoon of course. There’s been a shocking lack of photography on my behalf, and there’s loads of other stuff to do as well. Even simple things. I need a haircut, but the hairdresser I went to has closed up. All I need is a new hairdresser. I haven’t looked yet.

I do make plans. Making plans doesn’t require any effort, and so seems a safe bet. I am going to (really I really am) play around with my PC tomorrow to get the memory working properly, and rearrange some of the hardware inside. I am going to clean all the revision off the floor. I have stuff in my room that needs to be tucked away properly. I might rearrange the room. There’s a random chair here that I don’t use and can go elsewhere. I have an old cheap-as-chips laptop here that needs a battery. Appallingly, I have a love interest that I need to pursue (dear god I hope she doesn’t read my site). I have books and magazines to read. I have stuff to sell. I need to practise the guitar some more. I need to finish the yoghurt before it goes off. I need to pick some movies in advance that I’m going to watch on the way back home, now that the MP4 player actually works. I might have to consider getting a new printer, since the yellow seems to have stopped working forever. I have some perspex that needs to be cut (PC again). I need to get bedding for a double bed (not directly related to love interest). I need a desktop microphone stand. I need to do some real maintenance to this website, and get some graphics going. I have a photoshop project that I need to finish. I need to check out some recipes which I should try making. I have a lot of chocolate that needs eating. I should get some new t-shirts. I need to make my mouse heavier. I need to put a speaker stand together to get the speaker at the right height. And, quite simply, I need to throw some stuff out, like my lazy ass attitude.

So, tomorrow (well, later today), I’m going to be nice and geeky, and on Thursday, try to be nice and romantic.

Yup, I need to be myself again.
