Christmas has been and gone so to has the new year, but when the tinsel has settled what have we really learned?
Firstly, Drink less ( this is an important one and therefor I shall endevor to remember...).
Second, lock your bedroom door before you leave the flat (this will stop your flatmates friends messing with your room when he has a party after you've gone).
Thirdly, put the bins out on time as parties can create a lot of mess and bin space is a valued commodity.
This will now be on my to do list for 2001, I hope its on yours too.

I'm not green
Posted Sep 15, 1999
Clarification, I'm not called Yoda because I look like Yoda, I'm not green, I'm not under 5ft and I don't have hair growing out of my ears sufficient to create a broom given a long pole. I am called Yoda because that is my original Quake name, chosen because I am a bit of a Yoda fan. In fact due to a spellind mistake I was for the first 2 weeks of Quake play known a Joda. And now my name has evolved much like a Duck-Billed Platapus, from "Yoda" to "Yoda the Yod" (O.K. so it evolved badly). So there.
This was written in response to questions asked during my time on the Internet. Sorry to sound irritated.

New home
Posted Sep 14, 1999
Well the academic year is about to roll on and in preparation I have moved into a new home with a group of my friends. At present I have lived there for a whole week and found out that at night, when we are all asleep, the house is crawling (sliding) with slugs, Yuk. Every day new slug trails are found winding there way over towels, plates, cutlery and even food, YUK. Unfortunately we have only found two of the blighters both of which have been rehomed outside of the house.
The LAN between myself and my friends is now successfully up and running with Tib Sun, Half-life, Starcraft and Atomic Bommerman being the most popularly played games. On the food front, we've made curries, hot-pots and pizzas, all of which have at least been edible.
The major drawback at the moment is the boiler, the pilot light does come on, it just doesn't stay on, this means there is no hot water, no heatings and no washing of clothes. Unusually though the shower which is run on a seperate heating system is working perfectly, which is nice.
We still have no Internet connection at home and may never have one so I can still only reach you people through the University computers, hence the long delay between replies.
Another bad point is that one of my friends due to live with us has unexpectedly decided not to come back to Uni, this means that his share of the rent has to be paid by us, adding about £12 to our rent every week. Plus it means we may not see the friend in question (Alex a.k.a. ReapeR) for quite some time, which is most definately not nice.
Having said/written all this though, the house is very comfortable, warm and with my friends around should be a fun place to live. So long (for a little while (about two weeks)) and thanks for all the fish.

Stage one complete
Posted May 25, 1999
Well the second semester exams have arrived as I knew they would and kicked off with Atoms and Molecules, an exam I most definately have dreading, but having said that it went well I predict my mark at over 70% which in my opinion is good. Only three more such exams to go until the next academic year and I have to start all over again. To be honest I thought I would freeze up in this exam, the preluding lectures made me believe it would be much harder. Is this a good sign or a bad?
Maths next, this should be a little less stressful, although my course is fairly Maths intensive I have had multiple lectures on the majority of the hard stuff and so should at least earn myself over 50%. Roll on Friday!
