I’ve already told the InvisionFree staff, but had forgotton to say it to anyone that reads this.
I started my new job on monday, and as a consequence, i have a rather limited amount of spare time. I don’t even have a computer at the new house i’m living in, as there wasn’t enough space. Until I can get a laptop or something sorted out, don’t expect to see me around much.
Job is going well though, living with three cool guys, two of which i work in the same department as. The rest of the industrial placements are cool too, so it looks like it will be a great year.
Plus, i basically just make websites all day long, and get to use photoshop etc. pretty sweet deal if you ask me!

Well, i’m done with exams. They didn’t go so well though… hohum, I guess i will just have to wait and see.
In other news, I have a new house for when i start work (at least, we have a house on hold, not signed any documents or anything yet) which means i won’t see most of my friends properly for another year, as i start work quite soon after most people finish university. I can come back at weekends, as long as I have a car (otherwise it is reasonably expensive to keep on travelling back and forth - especially if i will be going out when i am back home). I am still going to stick around at university for a couple of weeks. I don’t have much else to do really, so I may as well make as much of the £900 rent count…
What else.. hmm, well i’ll be unsuspended from InvisionFree sometime today or tomorrow i think, will have to check in a minute. to be fair, it didn’t really help me all that much, as it was just frustrating to see things that I could not deal with, and also to get emails informing me that i had a PM, which i couldn’t check. Oh well…
Well, thats me out for another few weeks!

I arrived back in Canterbury yesterday afternoon after a 4 week Easter holiday. Wasn’t really too much of a holiday. Sure, I didn’t do a huge amount other than relax, but it was a very strange period.
It made me realise a few things about how things have worked out back at home (cryptic, eh?) and made me even more positive about what I want to do after university. Basically, move away from the country for a year or so - probably to America somewhere. I still have a while to think about it and plan it if I were to leave.
But anyway, yeh… exams start this week (hence why i’m absent from InvisionFree till 18th May) which should be fairly hectic. This week will be the worst week, with three of my hardest exams. After that it eases up a little and I have more space inbetween exams.
On another note, i’ve come to realise how much I dislike this layout. I still love the header image, it’s just everything beneath it that I don’t like, so I might rework it after my exams, and also get around to adding more layouts and getting the dark layout put online too 
Well, bye bye for another few weeks probably… i suck at blogging.

Wow, I’ve not posted in a long time. I’m really bad at updating this place and getting stuff that I said i’d do done! Things have been busy recently, and the website has been pushed down the priority list till I can get everything in order.
I’m still looking for a job for my year in Industry, and I am really (by really, i mean really really really) looking forwards to my interview with Reuters which I have in two weeks time. That is the job i’ve been holding out for, but I know it will be ultra-competetive. It consists of 2 one hour interviews. The first is a web development test (that is the role i’ve applied for) and the second is a standard interview. Wow, I was so chuffed when I received a phone call from them offering me an interview.
Other than that, i’ve been busy with coursework and stuff like that. Term finishes on the 31st, so I have a months holiday after that. I say holiday, but what I really mean is revision for a month, as my exams start on the 2nd of May. The second day of term. These exams are going to be tricky, but with enough work done between now and then, I should be fine.
Looking forwards to going back to London to see all my friends again, definitly been missing some people a lot and it will be great to see them again.
Well, i’m sure you won’t see another post from me in the near future, so bye!
(oh, and also… when did FireFox allow you to move tab’s around and change their order? It’s fantastic and i’ve been wanting that feature for ages!)

Well, things have been kind of hectic recently, so not many updates. Just thought i’d say hi. I have various assignments for my course at university that need doing, so that is starting to take a lot of my time up. I’ve also been working on a portfolio script (reasonably basic, I don’t need anything too complicated) but that has been put on the backburner for a little while whilst I finish my assignments.
I also love America. Well, more specifically, a certain company who I recently bought some CD’s from. I have an insatiable urge to listen to music. I love it, and can’t get enough of it. However, I also like to support the artists who produce the music I so dearly love. This, understandably, gets expensive and being a student with not a huge amount of money (no job currently, so i’m living off fumes!) makes things harder. Recently i’ve been getting some money here and there from various sources (nothing illegal, just projects and web hosting etc.) which has mostly gone on buying CD’s. Back to the original point, I recently bought 5 CD’s from UndergroundHipHop.com which set me back just over $100 (around £58 with conversion rates). Seeing as one CD was a special edition, limited release (7500 copies), and some of the others were CD’s a few years old, I thought it was quite a reasonable price. I also got to choose a free gift (out of about 30 options - ranging from CD’s to posters) with my purchase. I chose a poster, because I thought it was quite cool. Now, international shipping takes 7-14 days so I was expecting about 10 days or so. It arrived today however, the 7th day since it was shipped, with everything I ordered, plus more! It came with two free CD’s (one of which is being advertised on the site as free with every order over $35) and two extra posters.
Result.
