Four down, five to go

As of today, four assignments have been completed and an initial mark returned for each one. Currently I have an average of 72% (65%, 69%, 74% and 81%). This is barely a 1st class degree classification, more likely a 2:1.

With the way things stand, I would be pleased to get a degree of any sort; I will have achieved something with my time spent at University.

Unfortunately, while four assignments have been completed, I have five more to hand in at various dates over the next month and a half. This includes the Individual Study or Dissertation and it is worth a large chunk of the final year (1/4 if I remember correctly).

My personal life is somewhat the same, though I have started a cyber-relationship I suppose you could call it, so it could not be called empty.

Life moves on, for better or for worse? Only time will tell,

Alex.

A new year

Two steps forward, one step back.

In upgrading my linux pc, I managed to seriously make a mess of things. Fortunately, normal service has now been resumed with a few minor technical glitches. On the plus side my system no longer grinds to a halt when trying to use usb storage devices.

A week or so in to the new year and it seems pretty much like last year, just in a different location. The months are starting to dwindle before my final year exams. More confident than last time as there are fewer unknowns. Who knows? I might find someone that is interested in me.
