Exams...
Posted Apr 24, 2002
Are here again. Yes, it's that time of year already - and this year it's finals! So I'm actually going to have to do some work. 
Basically, this will mean that I'm not going to be around h2g2 as much for the next few weeks...
Having said that, I've already had 2 of my 8 exams. I've got a bit of a break before the rest though, so plenty of time to revise! They both went ok - both of them were on the same day, and I'm still not sure if that's a good thing...
Ah well. Such is student life. There'll be plenty of time for 
afterwards

J, now leaving on an extended lunch-break... *

What a weekend!
Posted Jan 29, 2002
Well, it all started on Friday evening. Light very kindly picked me up on her way home from w*rk, so we could travel down to nodnoL together on Saturday. When we got to her (very lovely!) cottage, it was badge making time... (for her, not me - I'd already made mine!)
After a bite to eat, we ventured down (in the dripping rain) to her local pub, where I think I met at least half of the village! And being a typical country pub, it didn't shut at 11pm... 
After finally getting to 
rather late, it was pretty difficult getting up early enought to get the train! In fact, we managed to miss the train we were aiming to get. But, for once, the rail services seemed to be running fairly smoothly, so we didn't have to wait too long.
So down to Marylebone, then a short tube hop to Kings Cross before finding our hotel, and meeting 2legs. Then off to pub #1 for the afternoon... Although the taxi driver didn't actually know where it was, so we went up and down Whitehall before anyone spotted it...
The pub was packed! It looked slightly daunting seeing *so* many people, and not knowing who I already knew, if you see what I mean... So the obvious place to head for was the bar. 
The pattern for the afternoon seemed to be set fairly quickly. Talking and . The photo scavenger hunt sounded like fun, but I decided to wimp out, and stick with the . Before long, it was time to head for pub #2...
We were greeted by a certain Mr Moxon, whose ego had obviously gotten the better of him , seeing as he was handing out bits of paper with his name on... Luckily there was a purpose to this! I just don't know what it was... 
The second pub, being much smaller than the first, was rather full. Life was cosy 
to say the least! Food (very tasty!), talking, and a short pub quiz. I think that sums it up. Oh, and a paper Post, and several photographs being taken...
Eventually, due to some silly licensing laws(), and people needing to (for some reason), we were forced to leave. Goodbyes were quite sad, but there's always the thought of the next meet...
So it was back to the hotel, to catch a few z's. And be ready to leave by 10am 
.
Then it was time to address RL again. Which meant getting home. We stopped en route to the station at a cafe, for a spot of breakfast. Great way to start the day! Then we had to say goodbye to 2legs, before Light and I headed for our own train. Which wasn't just a train - it was a train and a coach. Stupid maintainance works... always on a bl**dy Sunday... 
You're all lovely people. And I'm already looking forwards to the next meet... Which hopefully won't be *quite* so soggy...

New Year... but how happy?
Posted Jan 1, 2002
Yes, we've finally seen out 2001, and begun the first palendromic year of this millenium. But how happy are you feeling right now, as you read this? I know I'm not feeling that great, and no, it's not because of a hangover.
When we're growing up it's always suggested to us that we make New Years resolutions. Why? I suppose to help us to improve ourselves. But to do that, we have to look back, and see where we went wrong.
That's the difficult bit for me. There's just so much to choose from. It's almost painful to look back over everything that's happened in the last twelve months, and see what I could, and probably should have done.
Let's see if we can make this year better than the last one.

Horrible exams
Posted Jun 15, 2001
Why do we have to do them? No-one's going to care in a few years. And that last exam (number three of seven) was awful - I could only do 2 of the 5 questions. I just hope I got what I did right...
