Okay, so here it is, an actual, proper, real post for the first time in about three months. I can only apologise. I really don’t know why I haven’t been posting. Maybe I haven’t really had anything to post about (but then again, do I ever?), or perhaps I just forgot because I was too busy with other things? Well, that’s bullshit. All I’ve been doing is working, going to college, playing video games and occasionally going out drinking with friends/workmates. As per always.

My college course is nearing to a close. I believe June the fifth is my last day. Hopefully I’ll be okay. There’s been a few things I’ve been struggling with for the past few weeks, but I haven’t let them get on top of me, so I should be fine. Hopefully. And that said, I’m not sure as to what I’m wanting to do when I’m done with the course. I seem to be swaying towards just taking a year off to work and get some money, perhaps applying to university the year after. It’s also the option I’m most comfortable with, since I don’t seem to be quite ready to leave my hometown yet.

Work at the Co-Op is going great. Since I’ve now been there for about five months, I’ve made a handful of really good friends, who I now seem to be going out on the piss with on a semi-regular basis (I’m even going out tomorrow night to celebrate one’s birthday, and did the same thing last Friday). So things are nice. We even got our new uniforms to replace the horrible, early-90s style ones we had. I don’t feel like quite so much of a twat now when I wear it.

I’m also trying to get a new layout for the site done as well, since we’ve had this since the middle of November. I’ve got one that’s just about there. It just seems to be missing… something. Hopefully I’ll be completely happy with it soon, and I’ll be able to get it up. This one will also have a colour changer.

Anyway, that’s me for now. I’ll try my best to keep new posts appearing frequently.

Wow, it’s been a whole week since I blogged last. I apologise for that. I’ve been a little busy lately, what with work and being back at college. And Xbox playing.

College should be interesting from here on in: our assessment for Multimedia Development is to create a website for the on-campus restaurant. I don’t know the full details, since I wasn’t there when it was given out, so I don’t know any specific requirements, other than the fact (I think) it has to have some user interactivity. Will be interesting to see what I (and everyone else) will come up with. And I’ll put it online to show you as well.

Work is going well. I got my first paycheck on Hogmany as well, which was great, so I’ve managed to buy myself a few Xbox games to keep me occupied. I’ll need to go out and buy some clothes and shoes as well, since I desperately need them.

Anyway, I’m going to cut this a bit short. I just finished a four hour shift at work, and I’m just about to go and start another one. Wonderful. I was planning on going to the pub tonight.

Happy new year everyone! Wow, 2009 already. Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the new millennium. How time flies when you’re having fun. Hope everyone had a fun night celebrating the new year. I know I did. Me and a couple of mates went out to the pubs, then later back to a friend’s house after the bells. Was great. The pub was absolutely packed and the atmosphere was great.

Worst point of the night: Paying a ridiculous £9 for a tika masala and chips from an absolute shit-hole of an Indian takeaway. Seriously, this place was awful. My best friend, who’s a cookery student and aims to become a chef pointed out countless things wrong as soon as we walked in. It was atrocious. And to then have the audacity to charge almost a tenner for a shit meal!

What’s worse, barely five minutes after I left with it, I dropped it. Wonderful. So I essentially paid £9 for two bits of chicken tika and some crappy chips. Hate how all the decent places were closed.

Oh well. shit happens. Role on the next year!

I also thought I’d come up with a few resolutions while I’m at it as well, even if they’ll almost certainly amount to nothing.

• Gain some weight. I am seriously underweight, but I don’t understand why. I eat so much it hardly seems comprehensible. I will put on some weight this year if it kills me.
• Lower my Hb_A1C. Being diabetic, my Hb_A1C (essentially my average blood-glucose level over a certain amount of time) needs to be monitored, and mine is a bit higher (hell, a lot higher) than what it should be. While this has no effect no, it can lead to problems later in life if it stays that way. So, I need to try and lower it.
• Go to University. Maybe. If I were to pass the HNC Computing course I’m doing now at college, I almost certainly would be able to get into University. But, I’m not entirely sure if I actually want to (yet, anyway. I definitely want to eventually), or what course to do exactly. So, I going to have to decide all that this year.
• Budget properly. Now that I have a job, the temptation to squander all my earnings on stuff like video games is massive. I need to keep it for things I actually need (college bus fares, clothes, etc).

Anyway, there we go. Fairly boring and pretty achievable. That’s all from me now, enjoy the new year!
