HNC

Friday, November 18th, 2005

I’m going back to college next week to do the HNC (Higher National Certificate) which is part time one day a week for two years.

This will enable me to get back on my feet whilist wasting no education time.

Everything going great at the moment, just need some money to go out drinking with all my friends. :(

Quitting University!

Saturday, November 12th, 2005

OMFG!”!”!$£ Whats this you ask?

Well, i’m not happy here and no motivation, it’s all theory based and hardly and practicals (i like to get stuck in) so im leaving University on Monday to go home and start my wonderful journey of job hunting. :) Me a drop out? not really doing what i feel is best for me and what makes me happy, why study for 3 years if your not happy? just to get depressed? no thank you!

I got a careers meeting on Tuesday so will see how that goes, i want to do IT Networking, i know i want to do this but i would rather work and gain experience then study and still not have a clue how to work a server (I know this from building my own network in house, but University probably wont teach me that!). Some companies see experience worth more than a degree because anyone can study, read a book but be utter crap when it comes to doing it! (You don’t get alot of experience IMO from University). This is my view, and hence making my own decison to try and get a job and then move that way.

I might come back and do a degree later on when i see a need for it, but in the mean time i just want to be happy and enjoy life!

Now to sell my body and get an IT job! :o any offers?

Update Thinking of doing the HNC for 2 years with work related experience, then maybe go to Kent university and do two years there if possible. Maybe by then things would have cooled of and in the mood for studying again! we shall see. :) Maybe the longer route, but can’t fault 2 years work experience…

fun fun fun

What a week! :(

Saturday, October 22nd, 2005

Car decided to screw up again and bisically getting rid of the car, but can’t replace so had to leave my job at Buckmore park.

So now i have to rely on the wonderful world of public transport… or my legs for now. ;)

On Monday i was supposed to take a CCNA module exam, but i didn’t get around to it because the lecturer decided to givf us a lame excuse that the Cisco site server was screwed up (eh?) in otherwords he has no clue. What needs to be done is our Cisco accounts need to be assigned to the University account… (What a noob eh? the scary thing is these people are meant to be helping you etc…)

Not much been happening atm, since i got more free time and not paying so much expense on car i’ve decided to study more (And i have been!) and go to the gym. :)

Next week im off back home for my m8’s sister party so should be an intresting weekend!

Life gets more better!

Sunday, October 9th, 2005

Went around my cousins last night and spent the night there. Watched boogey man and peace maker with a nice indian and dessert (Thanks!).

Later on that evening i got a call from a number i didn’t know, who was this i thought? Was Ann from Buckmore park asking when i wanted to start working! :o. So i start work on Wednesday 5-10.30 as a marshall!

That’s 2 jobs i got now, all i need to do now is manage my time and keep everything up and i’m sorted!

Just goes to show things do get better when you hit a rock bottom part of your life. :) (Though if im honest i was stupid and see things alot more clearly now. Confidence was a problem in the past, sorted now. ;)).

Anyways i best get back to student life!

Algebra

Tuesday, October 4th, 2005

Right i hate maths and we need to do maths on this degree… and theres this thing called “Algebra” which i completly such at. Now i didn’t do alot of this at school so looking at a sheet with algebra on it just looks like a foreign language!

So if i’m going to pass this degree i HAVE to get my head around it, so i’ve set my self the task of a hour a night looking at algebra websites such as GCSE bitesize and learning it. I’ve spent more than an hour today and it is easy once you get your head around it (doing the easy stuff for now, need to start and work way up) now if i manage to get my head completly around this i’m fully confident i can do everything else (Maths is my major weakness). :)

Everything else seems easy to do at the moment. :)

Job searching and heading into town tomorrow with fellow flat mates and Marc. :)

If your not good at something, don’t give up keep trying and you’ll get there in the end (Like me with Maths) thats my advice today: Don’t give up!

I’m back

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

Considering i need the internet for my work at uni i decided to get the internet sorted asap.

I’m currently sitting in the library opposite some bird (Who is fit hence me sitting here) with my mate ‘Bun’ typing this.

I’m glad ive moved to uni because this simply rocks, last night me, Bun, John and Matt were simply perving across our flat to see if we could find any birds, and we succeeded! :D

I’m so going to love it here and can’t wait for more stuff to happen!

With even better news Marc is moving into a flat on Monday! apparantly he is supposed to be sharing with all females, which yes you can guess i should be over there alot!

That’s it for now, more to fellow sooooooooooooon!
