The show must go on

By Chris

Well, well, well. If it isn't an blog post pertaining to a status update on the life of moi! Haven't seen one of those for a while. The lack of activity may lead you to believe there has been nothing to report. On the contrary, I have found that the more activity there is the less I report due to time constraints.

Anyhow, a quick update if you'll permit. The end of an era is nigh. The final days of university are drawing near. Soon I'll be free to be tied up by work until I'm 60 - joy! Needless to say the last year of university, particularly the last semester is more full on than previous ones. Work, work and work. I'm not used to this kind of thing in such quantity. Fortunately the fear of messing it up so close to the finish line provides ample motivation. Also I need to do well in this semester. Last semester was hands down the worst semester I have seen. The grades were embarrassingly low and I even failed a module Embarrassed.

I'm still working as a web developer in Coleshill typically once a week and putting in the occasional full week when I can. The japan plan has been put on hold until it's taken of hold... sometime. This is due to interesting developments. I'm quite hoping to be with my girlfriend sometime in the not so far ahead but still quite far future. After university I would like to continue to work and pay back my debt, after which I will most likely looking at ways of going to America which is where my girlfriend is studying (hence the japan plan temporary cancellation). I have no particular interest in working in America. I guess it will be interesting but it's not something I would be aiming to do were it not for certain female influences.

Anything else? Ah yes, my car has gone due to financial reasons. I'm driving a silver Mondeo which used to be my fathers car. It made more sense to sell it and use the money from the say to buy the insurance for the Mondeo.

One more thing too that's worth a mention. My girlfriend came over from America to stay with myself and my family for a month over the Christmas period. I can honestly say it was the most enjoyable month of my life. That either means my life so far has been terribly dull or I just had a really good time. I can assure you it was the latter Smileing You can quite easily get used to living with someone, especially a girlfriend, in a months time. Meaning, when she leaves you're left feeling like something is missing. She left a month ago and I'm still getting used to constant gnawing of emptiness and the loneliness found in solitude. Plus my thoughts are constantly invaded by past memories, desires and feelings along with the not so pleasant reminder of not knowing how long I'll have to wait to see her again Cry

Time to get on with yet more work...
