Yesterday was probably the worst Monday i've had this semester. Well, they've all been bad, but yesterday just seemed to drain it all out of me. Other than my usual 10-6 uni monday with only one hour break in the middle, i had my usual Greek lessons from 7-9 as well. I thought at the end of uni was a bonus: my lecture finished at 5:30, so i thought i could go and squeeze in a quick dinner with Despina. Well it sure was quick, becuase it took me an hour to drive from uni to West End, the traffic … Read more →

Well i finished writing and typing my essay on Sun Yat-sen. Other than considerable proof reading, i can consider this assignment finished. Talking to Andrew last night at Church (in which he complained about the lack of site updates, my answer being I have almost zero spare time) I had the idea of putting my assignments online for everybody to see (and probably ridicule). If I have the time, i probably will, only AFTER the assignment is marked and returned to me (so publicly displaying will not have an effect on the grade i recieve).

On Friday night, i watched … Read more →

So ends my very much enjoyed Easter and a few days off. Back to crappy reality today, as I have to start a lot of gabage for uni. First in the firing line: my major essay for HIST2100 (Emergence of modern China) on why Sun Yat-Sen has been labelled a 'frustrated patriot'.

For a little humour, here is something from my funny things calendar:

Christos Anesti! (Christ Has Risen!)

I would like to wish everyone a very happy Easter, and may the Lord Jesus Chirst bless all of us through His awesome resurrection.

Take care everyone, and I hope you all enjoy your break from work, uni, or whatever else you do.

Christ has risen from the dead, and through death He has trampled upon death, and on those in the tombs bestowing life

I got through all the work i had to do (both uni and payed) for last week ok. I still have a lot of uni stuff to do for this week, and not too much payed work (only a Saturday morning shift). I'm looking forward to this weekend, both because it is Easter, and because i'm going to be taking time off from doing anything related to uni.

We got Pirates of the Carribean on dvd, at i watched a bit of it last night. I really love that movie. Good stuff. Also got Matrix Revolutions which I haven't had … Read more →

Today i did my first COMP3804 demonstration. I didn't get full marks, which i was a bit dissapointed in considering the effort i put into the working component, but there were a few minor oversights made by me which were ,ironically, partially caused by me being a bit too perfectionistic in the way i implemented the component. Ah well...

I worked yesterday, and i am working all day tomorrow (7:15-3:45) which, to be honest i am dreading, because of the length of the shift, and also because i have still got a tonne of uni work i have to get … Read more →

Here i am at uni, in the labs typing this one out. So begins a tough two weeks at uni before the break. At my last count, i have 6 assesment items due before next thursday (and thats not even counting all the seperate COMP3804 deliverables).

I came into uni yesterday to migrate my COMP3804 system to uni, which, other than the usual stupid things committed by me, turned out to be not the major pain i had expected it to. Nevertheless, i still hate having to come into uni on weekends.

Anywho, i'm looking forward to a planned weekend … Read more →

Well here is the corrected cup, but i think i'll still leave the mispelled one up as well for comedic value

After much pressure from Tim, i have finally decided to reward his efforts of solving the Gysdintu mystery with a publicly awarded trophy. (I won't take too much credit as he did the image, and you can tell that by his misspelling if Gysdintu lol).

So here it is from the BrazenMonkey to the BrazenMonkey, the Gysditsu (sic) Cup!!

Well done... on a note about me (this is MY blog lol), i got my first COMP3804 deliverables back today and i got 1.15/1.25%. ooo high marks i know. I lost 0.05 because the marker misread my ER diagram. I would … Read more →

Stayed up till about 12:30 last night typing out my HIST2702 essay after getting home from a long day of uni and greek lessons at about 9:30. The newsgroups for uni seems to be stuffing up. Since uni started they keep seemongly randomly asking me to resend my user information, and now it often rejects it. When i went on this morning, most of the posts seem to have been deleted. I will at my WTF at this point.

I'm just about to go to uni and, after that i've got soccer tonight.

On another note, the council elections are … Read more →
