It's Monday, and that means that i must procrastinate before doing some work.
I started watching ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) ofmornings a few days ago. It's just a comm where people post pictures of what they had for breakfast. It's a great source of inspiration as i often find myself in the morning thinking, bleh what can i have to eat? The photos posted are quite cool too. It makes you hungry though.
As most of you probably have seen, mission101_2009 is also featured on the spotlight. I'm tempted to do it, but i doubt i could populate a good 101 list in less than 3 days, let alone one that would keep relevant for nearly 3 years. I may still give it a go though!
My Christmas was sedate (as i mentioned last post). I hadnt asked for much of anything material wise. So in due course, i got a cd (Anjunabeats Volume six), a book (Elephants on acid and other bizarre experiments) and a £20 note. My parents have agreed to help fund a travelling expedition for me next year, once i figure out where i want to go and if i can afford it. I'd like to meet a few of my friends in other countries.
Keeping on the holiday note, i have about 5 days of holiday to take before the end of March at work. Considering that i only work 2 days a week currently, that is about 3 weeks off work. I may just take most of January off work? i don't see the weather getting substantially better in February or March, so i don't think I'll be missing out on much.
What am i intending to do for new years? fuck all. I cant be arsed with much at the moment for some reason. Motivation is pretty dire, and my mood is hardly in party-mode. Tags: food, music, new year, travel, update, work

I'm back at college tomorrow. I was off last week due to illness. Something that i do not regret as such, but I have a feeling I'm going to have quite a job to catch up today and tomorrow.
I'm kind of frustrated. I know what i want to do, and i pretty much know what i need to do to achieve it, but i do not seem to be able to actually tackle any of the objectives i need to do. For what seems to be months, possibly because it has been at least a month, I've been writing my personal statement. It should be easy peasy. 4000 characters long, write about yourself as to why you are the best person to be on this course, and how wonderful you are. Well that's just it, I suck at saying how great i am (unbelievable at times i know). So I've written 2000 characters worth and have totally stalled. I know i'm missing stuff out, and I'm sure i can write more, but nothing flows. When i write about stuff that i know about, i could write forever! Most of my assignments start off too long, and i have to edit and edit again to shorten them and remove the irrelevant stuff.
I woke up this morning afternoon and was very keen to get some college work done. I looked for my next maths assignment tracking sheet, but couldn't find it. This was strange as I'm sure i received it. It's kind of annoying as it is supposed to be a really nice and easy one to get done before Christmas. Essentially it's all level 2 work (GCSE level). I remember the first question was like, draw these triangles and describe them or something stupidly easy. Well failing that, i grabbed some science worksheet which is an assessment we're doing in class. As I'm a week behind, i thought i had best get this finished to ensure I'm not catching up too much tomorrow. Looking at the sheet, however, i couldn't make heads or tails of it without having to read through the previous 10 pages of scribbles.
"If r1 became short circuit, what effect would it have on the voltage across r1, r2, r3 and r4 ?"
"Explain the relationship between the applied voltage and the individual voltage drops in the circuit."
This should be easy, but my brain is dead. It's a giant cabbage encased in a skull. How very disappointing.
I e-mailed my tutor last week saying i wont be in due to illness, and to send me any worksheets that i would've been doing in mathematics. She keeps all the worksheets in electronic format so this should be no problem. Annoyingly i didn't even get a response as an acknowledgement of receipt of my e-mail, never mind work sheets. I understand she's a very busy tutor, and she has a huge workload, but this was just annoying.
I wonder if i got a load of work that i needed to do, and got myself into an environment where i could solely focus on the work (ie, not at home) i could finish it all in one massive haul and have a few weeks rest?* Perhaps i could see if i could go to work with my Father. I have a feeling that university libraries are quieter than FE colleges, where libraries are seen as some sort of hang out place to catch up on what happened at the weekend!
So yes. College in the morning. I should wake up in about 4-5 hours to ensure that i am there on time. I don't feel tired. It'd be unwise for me to stay up all night though as i will be incredibly tired by midday tomorrow. I wish lessons were starting now. I'm awake, I'm alert. I could quite possibly get some work done! Just let me get some clothes on first!
I'm paranoid I'm wasting time and opportunities! argh!
