Road works

I haven't been on my blog for a couple of days which means I have been very busy and stressed, I haven't been getting into my uni classes as much as I thought I would, after having to hand in my database assignment for the 2nd time as I made a HUGE mistake on the first one, I just wanted to cry. :(

I managed to get an appointment with my student adviser and went to talk to her as I was getting to the stage where I just wanted to leave uni and get a full-time job, but she did help so I am feeling a little better.

Still no new layout but I have managed to work on bits and bobs of it during the week, hopefully it will be lovely :) Yesterday I spent the whole day on my compliers assignment where I have to write a lexical analyser in java which is a pain in the arse, it's one of those things I know what I want it to do but I just can't make it do it! I think once I have managed to complete it I will put it up on here or try to explain the best way to go about it to save other people the stress.


These are my notes written over and over again!





I am just waiting for the amp to be picked up but there are all these road works up and down my road so I am unsure how to the courier is going to get down my road. Sigh!

Students loans company are still pissing me off as I am awaiting approval for my bursary grant but they have to let my uni know before they will give it to me and I can't seem to get hold of them to ask if they have sent the information across... :(

Other than that nothing really has gone on, but I did get approved for socialspark I am sooo pleased! Okay back to assignment work :)

Annoyed

I'm in a really rant annoyed mood, I don't know why it is a Sunday and only 4pm but still I am so annoyed at myself I have had such a mental block, I managed to get my database assignment 1 done on Friday evening thought amazing! I can start on my programming project and work on a new layout over the weekend, did this happen? No! I have sat the computer for the last two days playing around with photoshop, browsing at other blogs and reading up on JAVA API, nothing came into my mind, rubbish :( totally rubbish, I wanted to achieve so much this weekend but didn't, do you get weekends like that?

Saying that I do have loads of idea but can't seem to get the colour schemes right... blah blah blah blah, okay, according my husband my mental block will go but I really hope it is before the hand in date for my programming project :(

I'm alive!

Ha ha! Sorry for no post, I have been really ill since Saturday, I blame the husband, shouldn't kiss someone when they are already ill, eh?  So I have been suffering from a horrible cold, I spent all day sleeping today until the cats woke me up at 6pm complaining that I had not fed them since the husband left for work in the morning, Kit was meowing at me while sitting next to the alarm as to say do you know what the time is? And Onion thought it would be funny to bite my toes but I do have one nice kitty Arthur was sleeping next to me as I cuddled her like a teddy bear :)

Had a really good birthday, my mum came over, so did Freya and the in laws, I got so many DVDs here is the list of the ones I have received:

Desperate Housewives season 1 and 2

Laguna Beach season 2 and 3

Lipstick Jungle season 1

Buffy season 6 and 7

Cutting It season 2

Tru Calling

Charmed season 1, 2 and 8

Without a Trace season 1 to 4

It Crowd season 3

The hills season 3

Weeds season 3

Futurama Movies

Cashmere Mafia season 1

I LOVE DVDs of TV series so I am so pleased! I have nearly finished my current collection, here is what my collection looked like on Saturday by the end of the week they should of all come so I will have to retake a picture.

I have been watching a new TV Series called Fringe about a secret FBI agency who is run by a black guy who looks like the one who wouldn't talk in Heroes, the main woman is Olivia (my husband really doesn't like her), a crazy scientist called Walter and his estranged son Peter, anyway they run around solving crimes relating to Fringe Science which is like people with power or odd things happening. It is really good, took awhile to get into it but after getting half way through the first series it really picked up. It will have to be one for our DVD collection :P

I don't love it as much as I love Flash Forward made by the same people who did Lost (which is fab as well btw!), I really like the idea, anything sci-fi is right up my street, I blame this on the husband and his addiction to aliens and powers, if you haven't seen Flash Forward I would definitely download it! Or watch it on telly if we are being good ;)

I haven't been at uni for the past two days so I have been trying to study from home which is hard because I have needed a lemsip top up every 4 hours, rubbish, rubbish!

Some pictures of me looking better :) I was feeling down over the weekend looking at old pictures, so put on some make-up and took some photos and decided I am not that bad looking :P Even if I say so myself, I think having boobs helps, ha ha!


Oh and a kitten picture for good measure :)

It's a hard life being a kitten - Onion and Arthur

Favourite songs at the mo:


And one for my best mate - Cheryl Cole - Fight For This Love, I would post it in the post but it won't let me :(

Okay I'm off to make some dinner for the husband.

Birthday Tomorrow!

I'm a bit slow at updating lately with uni and other issues going on it has been crazy week, I know I always say this but it makes a change from a month ago when I was sitting at home twiddling my thumbs waiting for something to happen, now uni has started back up it is all happening, family, friends, uni, work, pressure and all that good stuff :P

This was my excitement of the week, putting up my picture frames which contain my wedding photos! They look really cute and they are all in black and white to match my stairs and walls in the hallway :)

Oh and I made a cake, Apple Cake it was yummy :) Husband and my mum ate it all... piggies!

Oh something horrible happened last night, husband and me were watching Flashforward (which is amazing by the way!), and we heard all this noise upstairs in the office, so I sent the husband up to see what the cats were getting into now and Arthur had managed to get herself into one of those paper lamp shades which they had managed to knock down, the wire hoop was stuck around her waist you couldn't get it over her head or legs, she kept making that whimpering noise :( We managed to cut it off with some scissors but still it really scared me I didn't know how we were going to get it off her without hurting her.  She is fine today and back to normal :)

I'm 24 tomorrow and I am excited about all my DVDs and surprised presents that my husband and mother in law have got me, I will have to show you all my presents :P) I'm going back to writing the sponsored blogs and ordering Christmas card bits.

Day In The Life

Crazy day, really crazy day.

Put at 6am had breakfast, a cup of tea and a fag, left the house at 7.30am instead of 7am because my mother was give me a lift.

Got to uni for 9am, had one lecture and one class in Networks, was a bit worried about my Networks just because in my class I have never used command line, it was a first for me but I think it went well I can load it up, go up and down files and load a java file so all is good for today.

Then next came my three hour gap where I spent most my time playing on command line as you spam people with the wall and look up people with a command called finger (ha ha!), did a bit of work and had lunch while talking to people.

2pm three more lectures, Databases, Compilers and Program Analysis... I am hating program analysis I still do not understand fricking algorithms! Compilers wasn't as bad as I was thought it was going to be, I still was awake at the end of my lecture and understood what was going on!! I have a bit of research to do on my subjects but I'll do that Wednesday.

5pm database class, it was er alright I had already done the worksheet so not much to do.

Left uni at 6pm, got a lift home with my mum, arrived home at 7pm.

Got in husband was ranting about the mess so I cleaned the kitchen, bathroom, hovered, put washing on, made the pack lunches, made tea and had a bath.

8pm I am knacked... good night back up again at 6am... sleepy!!

Brrrr!

I am feeling so tired right now, this week has really worn me out, I think it must have to do with the four hours of traveling a day! But there might be some good news with having my Fridays off fingers crossed for me, it is all up in the air due to trying to find a slot in the timetable that everyone can do.

Tuesday ended well managed to get some studying done and my mum gave me a lift home from uni, on Wednesday it was my day off so more studying and tidying my dirty house, Thursday back to uni it was so hard to get out of bed that morning even more so when I only had an one hour lecture, managed to get to town at a decent time so I could buy some bits and bobs exciting things like my computer magazines and the husbands comics.

Friday, yesterday, studying again, got my lovely rail card which is going to save me about £140 this term, yay! Also I applied for a new scholarship for more money so fingers crossed that my reference person is able to turn it around by Friday or I will miss out

It is my birthday in a week, it is next Sunday, I will be 24, now I feel old! I am looking forward to it as I want all my new DVDs then I can buy some of the ones I am missing

Whoa my fingers are so cold, it is hard to type, I don’t know why it is so cold in this living room and it is warm outside, there is something wrong with my house. To keep warm Onion is sleeping on my belly as I type this while watching E! channel, I’m alone the husband is playing with his new guitar that I brought him.

One film I would really like to see is Couples Retreat has anyone seen it? Is it any good?

Brrrr!

Back to uni

I have done a day and half at uni, it is going well so far! I am really enjoying my database and networks lectures, because this is the field I want to work in when I finish my degree, to be honest I am a geek and databases plus networks are just want I love :P The other two subjects this term Compilers and Program Analysis not so keen on I think there will be a lot of programming involved saying that I know there is a lot of programming in the compilers subject and the program analysis well it is more of the computing machines plus algorithms oh joys! I think I will have to through the notes tomorrow on my day off.

At the moment I am revising networks that we did in this lesson so I really know what he is talking about and this will help me enjoy it even more :)

Other than that I haven't be doing anything else other than running my little household, cats are driving me nuts, Kit has decided she needs to meow all the time when we get home to make a point of us not leaving her again for a whole day!! She isn't use to it as I have been at home for the last 3 months... she will get back into the routine by the end of this term I am sure.

Day off tomorrow very excited about it, I am so sleepy! Since I didn't get home till 8pm last night and up again at 6am this morning, oh the joys of 9am lectures, they should be banned!! But I have to start catching up on SQL and my java as well as do the normal bits and bobs.

Okay I'd better go and work, also re-order my sisters birthday present as it didn't turn up the first time around, sigh!

Two weeks

I have gone two weeks without biting my nails! Hopefully I won’t do it while I am at uni and getting stressed but TWO WEEKS WOOOHOO!
