Oh that's cool, if it's casual and fun you should totally go for it :) I just know a lot of people that have studied their shoes off to find there's absolutely no work out there, unless they emigrate :P

Today was good, work was pretty fun & the sun was-a-shining.

Been and had a quick look around Lincoln Castle today, which is something I've been wanting to do for a while! Coincidentally, there was a medieval fayre there too... With a wine stall! I was already laid back from a prior pint and a Long Island Iced Tea (powerful stuff, look it up!), so when the Friar-lookin' bloke offered me free shots of everything, then, well, Jesus!

Also got a pic of me harnessing the POWER in the castle pulpit. I'll post it when I get back! For now though, we're chillin on the train listening to Andy McKee. Yes.

Thing is, if I could swap my degree for something else I really would, but now I'm starting my final year it is too late and there are laws in place which mean I would have to pay for a second degree myself. Oh well.

We were taught by a guy from the industry for a semester who pretty much told us that if we want to work in the games industry, move to Canada. The British industry seems to be really suffering right now.

But anyway.

Today I didn't exercise. I just couldn't be bothered to do anything other than play Oblivion. I am disappointed with myself :blush:

Today has been excellent <3

A great day at work, really challenging and loads of new stuff learned. Then the sun was glaring and I had the nicest ever drive home, then Tekken and cold coke. Felt like I did worthwhile crap today :D

Today was the last day before my last first day of high school. :blink:

Very relaxed day, though. Gotta wake up at 6 am tomorrow to go to Senior Sunrise. Let's get this year over with.

A family member has fallen ill on your birthday? That's awful. Happy birthday anyway!

Today was, unfortunetly, my first day back at school, and like usual, it was boring as hell.

Not only that, but the neds next door (yeah, have neds as neighbors) has completley wrecked my old skateboard just so they can have new wheels for theirs, this might not be a big thing, but I had that skateboard since I was 8 and has been a prized possesion. I guess that's what you get for leaving things in your back garden...
Don't you EVER forget the "!" in "Cobra!"! Unless you're refering me as "Cobradabest".

That really sucks. Maybe if they ever get new skateboards, you should nick the wheels off them to replace the ones they stole from you! That'd teach them...

While I haven't had a great day at work today, i did have a great stroke of luck. I went to get a drink out one of the vending machines in the canteen, but when it popped out, I saw a can of Coca Cola Zero in there as well! Since both the water dispensers in the workplace weren't working properly, I was pretty damn thirsty, so two drinks for the price of one? Result!

That's both criminal damage and theft; more than half an excuse to call in the police if you want to.

I broke a second hoover at work today and walked into an automatic door. GO TEAM KAITO!!!

Unfortunetly, the rest of the skateboard is in peices.

Actually, I just nicked the Skateboard that had my wheels, and it turns out that the board part of the skateboard was actually from my brothers skateboard. So it's no no way theft, as it was origonally ours.

I forgot to mention on the previous post, and because that every post in this topic includes a section about what they did/happened to them today. My new Gamecube arrived (well, by new, I actually mean used), the old one died recently. (Most of you guys will probably be saying "you should've got a Wii" but Gamecubes are cheaper, and it has that awesome boot sequence that you don't get when playing the games on a Wii.)
