Hmm, work... yes, I am familiar with the concept. What of it?
Oh, you lecturer people actually want me to do some?
How would one go about that then?
It is becoming apparent that I do actually need to do work so survive at uni. This is more than slightly irritating, mainly because I have never had to do so before. I'm sure many people are very good at it, and do it every day, with no effort at all, but I'm not. But it is not just doing work that they expect, they also want me to be awake for ridiculously early lectures every day (Ignoring that fact that I have had to be at school earlier than that for the past 10 years of my life).
I suppose some of this is my fault, I may have been able to juggle my lecture/tutorial/workshop times so that I dont have anything until 10 or 11 each day, but that would have involved the dreaded *whispers* work.
In other news, wheelchair is still going awesome, and I am planning to tempt MissE there, possibly with candy. She has managed to get me into Ultimate, so I will convert her to the ways of the wheel..
Well I suppose I should be going and finishing my Maths assignment...
Nah, Dragon Age 2 sounds much better. ;)

Going down..
Heya all (which I will admit, is probably about, oh... 2 people)
I am now all growed up and living away from home in a shiny (well not-so-shiny now) student apartment block in ADELAIDE (!). This is awesome. My uni is about 10 mins walk away, so I can get to my classes fairly easily. Although looking at my timetable, I don't really want to get to all my classes. I suppose the ridiculous timetable is my fault though, if I hadn't chosen to do a Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Systems) it wouldn't be so bad.
Of course, I did get free food during O-Week at the Elec Eng Preliminary thing, so I suppose it isn't all bad.
I have also found a place to play Wheelchair bball down here, and played my first game last Tues. I got blisters and we won; I'm hoping those two are related so that there is a good reason for my hands being wrecked. I also played ultimate, which, I found out, exercises many of the same muscle groups, with the added bonus of using all the muscles in your legs. I am now wishing I had done more exercise during the holidays.
Anyway, I am now getting a bit hungry, so I might go across to AUSSIE PIZZA HOUSE, which is literally right next door, and get some dinner.
s'later,
Skywalker out!
PS. Oh, btw MissE, you are getting really bad at this posting thing.

Gotta love the D20
Recently I bought The Bag of Holding laptop bag ('cause I'm getting a laptop, duh) from ThinkGeek - awesome site - and it arrived very fast (9 days from ordering -> shipping monkeys -> Australia -> me). It was then that I made the amazing discovery; It's bigger on the inside. I decided to test it out a bit, and put pretty much everything except the kitchen sink in there (well, not quite, but all my school stuff + anything I could lay my hands on). I eventually stopped because I ran out of things that would fit through the opening... Oh well, lets just assume that it is infinite in size.
Here is a pic of the pile of things I managed to fit into The Bag of Holding (and a photo of TBoH)


Anyway, just in case you are interested, this is the list of things that went into The Bag of Holding:
Chemistry Essentials Textbook
Chemistry Essentials Test and Exam pack
Physics Essentials Textbook
Physics Essentials Test and Exam pack
2 x 320 page exercise books
Maths Studies Test and Exam pack
Maths Specialist Test and Exam pack
Diary
Powerade (well its empty in the photo, you didn't expect me not to drink it, did you?)
320GB external hard drive
2x USBs
Keys
Mobile phone
Pencil case
Graphics calculator
Umbrella
2x Magic the Gathering decks (Green/Black and Black/White, in case anyone is interested)
150+ random sheets of paper
And a zombie invasion book.
Wow, that list was slightly longer than expected...
On other news, I am now into my final exams for high school, joy.
Had English on monday, Physics today (which I annihilated), got Maths Studies on Thurs, then Chem and Specialist next week. THEN I'M FREE!!!
Well, that's all for now, I suppose I had better go and pretend to study.

Well I'm going into business!
Heya all,
And yes, I am aware that 'all' probably consists of three people, but, Hey, whatever.
I recently realised that I need to make some money, after all, uni looms just beyond the horizon and I have been informed that it a) isn't free and b) my parents aren't just going to keep giving me money. I then asked myself how this is done......
It took a while but I came to the conclusion that I should start my own business. No, really. I am going into the one field that I both enjoy and have experience in: computing.
Yep, I'm starting a website business.
So if you (or anyone you know) wants/needs a website tell them to email me, I'm gonna start with affordable site for personal and small business use, and see what happens from there. Just to show how generous I am, mentions this post and get a DISCOUNT =) Go on, you know you want one.
-Well that's all for this post, later

Yay, Awesomely Epic Duo
1. I got broadband, after months of campaigning, etc, etc. I have final got broadband.
Well, almost. Telstra still has to send the modem and stuff.
2. I scored 26 points by myself at wheelchair. Thank you, thank you, thank you very much; I'm here all week.
Yeah, that's all, I'm a bit tired to say more about my awesomeness.

It was User Error
Well, for the past couple of days I have been without internet.
No one could figure out why this was, and so we all blamed Bigpond.
A few days later, I was messing with the connection settings, and guess what, I only needed to tick one box and the internet worked!
This one in fact:

I wont name any names, but I didn't uncheck the box.
It was User Error, but I wasn't the user.
That is all.
