Uni work and the defeat of spss doom

Been doing my lab report today, not really been doing all that much on it though got so much to do tomorrow! I want to try and have it done for when I go to bed, that way I just have to pack my suitcase for London on Thursday and not worry about finishing work off.
I have done SOME work today though and managed to get spss to work, so I don’t need to go into uni at all now, which is good. I’ve basically only got the waffley bits of the report to do now, shame they are the longest bits 😥
Anyhoo, bit of a short and meaningless post but hey! 😀

Oh, the Eddiecat has a monster munch addiction. Today he meowed at me and headbutted me until I fed him some. *sigh*

Procrastination and woe

Right now I’m sat here with my uni notes on my knee and my work open in a word document. You would think this would mean I am working, but I have to say very little work is going on. Some though, I have actually done SOME!

The internet is a terrible place of distraction though. I mean how is one meant to concentrate when people are posting owl photos on facebook and discussing xbox shaped cakes on twitter!? The statistical correlation between emotional intelligence and locus of control seems really quite dull when compared to these wonders!

On the woe side of things; I’m ill. The sore throat that I picked up at Replay Expo in Blackpool last weekend has decided to drop down into my chest, with a nice cough to boot. I’m dealing with this well though, I’m sulking about it! I’ve done rather a lot of sulking these past few days and I should really stop it, but I’m feeling sorry for myself at the moment.

The whole world it seems is getting married and breeding and I can’t get the guy I like to notice I’m alive. Ahh well. I shall throw myself into the website, uni work and socialising and hope that a nice guy finds me. I think this is a good plan. Better than being mental about stuff. I don’t have the whole ‘must have a baby’ thing or anything like that, so I will just enjoy my life as it is. This is theory anyway, I shall keep you posted on how this carefree way of living works out for me, ha!

I guess I should continue with my uni work really…..oooh look a cat .gif!

Birthday Update

Well, it’s been an odd birthday I have to say; I’ve done sod all.

Mum came over today and we have sat about drinking tea and chatting crap. I’ve modded another t-shirt into something that is actually wearable, and we ate noodles. This is pretty much the sum total of my day.

Mum bought me a really nice new handbag, that came in a tote bag for some unknown reason. The shop also felt the need to then put this in a carrier bag when Mum bought it. Weird.

So yeah, my birthday has been a bit of a non-event really. Ahhh well, drinks over the weekend in London should help sort this, unless people don’t come out…….eep!

Birthdayness

It’s my birthday tomorrow. (13th)

I’m supposed to be choosing where I want to go and eat in town with Mum right now, but I just don’t know. Birthdays never excite me for some reason. In fact, if I’m honest, I find them depressing. My Dad was always in a bad mood on his birthday and I often wonder if he felt the same way about them. I can’t help but see that another year has passed by and that I’m not exactly pleased with what it contained. If anything, I have managed to go backwards this year, now being single as opposed to living with my long term bf this time last year.

So, what shall I do? Maybe I should start trying to see birthdays as a time not of reassessment, but of setting goals and dreams for the future year. Where would I like to be at this time next year? I would like to be in London, I know that! Be nice to think I could be working too, but this is something that may not happen of course, thanks to my stupid health. On the plus side though, it is the first time in years that working has become a possibility again. Granted, I would need something that I can do, at least predominately, from home but I think this could happen. I could do events and be ‘in the office’ on an ad hoc/’when I can’ type basis too. I guess it’s just finding someone who will adapt to me. Which could happen….surely!?

I guess I should try and think of somewhere to go tomorrow…..or play Batman, obvs!

Well, I thought I would resurrect the blog! Not sure how long will remember to keep updating this, but hey! This is basically going to be my place for personal blather of all sorts.
