MrMaycock.com The blog of a nineteen year old university student

14Dec/08

I need to post more regularly.

I really do. As otherwise, I say nothing, then I have really long and silly posts. Like this one.

For university, I have two offers of 260 UCAS tariff points to Derby and Sheffield Hallam, and I have been requested to go to an interview for a potential offer for Teesside. However, the interview is scheduled right on top of my exams in January, which in all honesty, is quite inconvenient. However, I do have an offer for my favourite university, which is awesome.

Hmm. In Burnout Paradise, I got my Burnout License. Only 105 events to go until I get my Burnout Elite license. Yayy. Something like that, anyway.

I was quite ill last week. And to anyone that was wondering, that still doesn't know, I was asleep in the week. I just felt completely dead, and was coughing up blood and stuff like that.

Nationwide finally sent me the cheque for their silly accounts merger thing. Therefore I have £50, which should be nice to spend on something. Rock Band 2, or maybe some dollars. As it's Vegas in eight weeks.

That kind of scares me, however, as that means exams are in five. Two Maths modules, one Physics module and one ICT module, plus a General Studies module that'll finish my AS off. I've got some good resources though, all of the ICT and Maths papers with Physics coming next week, as well as a very useful ICT textbook.

However, I am currently not learning from the resources. They just exist. Like, I have a Maths mock in the next few days, and I am still not aware of C3 trigonometry. Or, on the coursework side of things, I've done very little towards the ICT that was due in on Friday, (to be honest, I was really ill, to the extent that I wasn't on the computer for most of the week) and absolutely nothing at all towards the stuff that's due in this week. And overall in Physics, I haven't really thought about it.

I should probably do some Maths or ICT now, but blogging about not doing it is much more interesting.

Hmm, other things. In World of Warcraft, I hit Level 80. And I'm slowly gaining Level 80 gear that's replacing my outdated Level 70 gear, which is good. 2800-odd achievement points too.

Fall Out Boy's new album is quite fun, not really enjoying it yet. I'm sure I will soon.

Bowling for Barndardo's tomorrow. I don't have a sponsor envelope yet. I could see that being a problem to be honest. I do have all my money, so I just need to sneak into the office and get one. Should be fun.

I think that's everything, to be honest. Should be fun seeing someone tomorrow, haven't seen anyone since Wednesday two weeks back. Awh.

2Dec/08

I need to:

Send my UCAS off. I'm nearly done on that front, to be honest, just need it to be checked over and for me to acquire a reference.

Fix Totwatch. It's new, broken, and outdated.

Do Tiewatch for this month. I need to do it, really.

Level up in World of Warcraft.

Play Final Fantasy VII some more. Kweh?

Watch Desperate Housewives. Nine episodes. That's quite a lot.

Do some: C3, S1, PHA4, and ICT1. And by some, I mean a lot.

Finish this list.

PS. omg wtff heroes

Yay Banjo (classic).

Yummy, Wrath + Audiosurf + Banjo Kazooie is sexy.

Why can I not type audio without spelling it auido? Silly me.

Level 71 in Wrath, getting better at Audiosurf, and I'm just generally happy about Banjo Kazooie to be honest. My favourite game, ever.

No Nuts & Bolts arrival today, though, which is a bit strange. At least it gives me time to play the first one.

Scooch went well today, can't believe that it's like tomorrow. Should be good fun. I think I'll try and get someone to take some photos for me, which could be awesome.

What will not be awesome, however, is ICT. I have lost almost all interest in it now. Oh well.

Hmm, UCAS could be fun. Finished my second draft just now, and references have been distributed. Which is sexy. I hope. Staffordshire Open Day Saturday, which might be fun. Who knows.

God, this post has no structure. Hmm, I like long posts.

Yay Wrath.

I am enjoying how it most certainly wasn't opened on midnight, rather two hours or so before. That means Horde-free areas, to be honest.

Looks sexy, also. Fun areas.

However, second new game this week. And I have two more to go. =( My wallet hurts.

Yayy.

Being able to see text in Dead Rising is amazing.

I bought a Yorkie today. That was amazing.

I had a small, not big enough to be an actual Jelly Tot, but still a Jelly Tot none-the less. That was amazing.

I played WotLK beta without lag earlier today. That was amazing.

I preordered WotLK today. That was amazing. (Well, that's not strictly true, as that cost money that I really don't have. 'Twill be amazing when it comes out though.)

I wore some of my new socks today. People thought they were amazing.

Now I'm going to have a curry, sing a bit, watch some Scrubs and Friends, some WotLK beta action, read some Harry Potter, and maybe pwnt up some zombies in Dead Rising.

Hmmyeahh.

Today, well, the past 24 hours, was good.

First I did some vacuuming to make my floor not coated in crumbs. Something productive in the morning, it's quite Oh My Gok.

Well, then it was school. Particle Physics to, erm, yes. Human Computer Interfaces to, erm, also yes.

Then I came home and now I have access to a HDTV in the household. I never believed gaming in HD was so pretty. It's quite a step up from a 17" 4:3 SDTV to a 26" 16:9 HDTV. It's also a very pretty step.

Then I got lots of email. I like email. Then I read through my feeds. That wasn't so fun, as I had 750-odd items. Some fun stuff in there, though.

Then we went out as a family for a meal for my parent's anniversary. Awh.

Then I come home to do some coursework, which is done, -ish, if I could access myClassLink it'd be sorted.

Then I started my homework, will finish it P1 tommorow.

Then I filled out my correct timetable for Jackie.

Then I downloaded three episodes of Big Brother USA, 900 MB of music and thought I'd preload the 3.0.2 WotLK patch through the background.

Then, quite weirdly, I had an email inviting me to the WotLK beta. Which means I can see Northrend for all it's prettyness for myself. Yayyyyy. =)

And then I went to bed. Maybe.
