College Exams

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I’ve been lucky this summer with the exams. I had only one to sit. That is only due to doing the course part time. The full time students in my year have had to do 3. Last year there where 5 or 6 exams for the full time students while I had only 3. The course was changed this year to a lot of continious assessments. This was a good thing for obvious reasons, doing small exams through out the year and handing up projects as we went along. It meant no extra study for summer exams.

Now that I have finished college for the summer, I’ll get the chance to complete my home study course for PC repair and upgrade. It’s an easy course. I just need the piece of paper that says I can do these things. So bring it on. Also now that I don’t have to attend classes during the day it leaves me a lot more time for myself during the day before going to work. Plans, finish home study course, reading some of my many unread books and getting out and enjoying the weather by plenty of walking.

Planning to go back to London at the end of this month, volcanic ash cloud permitting. Loved London when I was there back in January. Chelsea flower show is on during the dates that I plan to be there, so I’ll get myself a ticket and pop along to see what all of the fuss is about.

Mike.

The New Year Post.

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Unsure if I should make this a review of 2009 or an objective post to which I can look back at come the next new year and see if I have achieved any of the goals that I set out in this post. A review would involve remembering stuff and deciding if I should include that. I think that it may be best to make an attempt to look to the future and see where I want to go, what I want to do and how I’m going to achieve them.

The first goal would be, as most people at this time of year, weight loss.

I want to loose at least 3 stone in this year alone. That’s only 1 stone per quarter, which is only 4lbs per month and that is not a lot. With regular exercise and being careful with what I eat, weight loss shouldn’t be a problem. The only obstacle I see here is my schedule during the week. With college during the day and work in the evenings, it can be hard to find time to make a meal. I will have to start bringing packed lunches.

The next goal would be to clear as much of my debts as possible.

My biggest debt would be my car. Not only do I have the costs of keeping it on the road, petrol, tax, insurance, maintenance but I also have the monthly repayments for it. The repayments will be complete in September of 2011. Clearing this would be a big weight off my back.

Weight loss and clearing debt are the biggest goals for 2010 but not the only goals. Some of the smaller goals that I want to set for myself are learning PHP and MySQL, getting back into playing the piano, putting an ad in the papers for PC repair.

Those are my main targets for the year. I may come back to this post frequently and add some more goals to it as I remember them or think of them.

So for now I will wish you all the best for 2010 and hope that it brings you all that you hope it does.
