I was having a pretty awful morning - overslept a little, then lost my keys so I ended up being a bit late for my lecture. I wasn't the latest though, aha. was feeling really tired, so I actually made a point of grabbing some food before the next lecture, which actually, is incredibly geekily cool. we, um, are basically learning about computers, and how they are made.

basically, I study electronic engineering. I'm a third year now, so it means we have a project that is worth a quarter of our year. because of the stream I'm on [more chip/programming orientated], all but like, one of my project choices were programming. I got the non programming one. also, since my department is weird, I'm one of three with the same project title. and only one of us can do it, the others have to submit a modified version of the title.
basically, I have to demonstrate a law of electromagnetics. or make something to demonstrate it to 1st years. I went along to my supervisor to discuss my project, and since apparently I was the first one to go along, and actually said I'd picked that one since I enjoyed that part of the course more, I got first dibs at the actual project title.
little things like this make me feel a lot better. I kind of majorly messed up last year. my supervisor told me he was on the exam board last year, and there was a case that sounded really really like mine - some high modules, one really low one. a special case, he said. he didn't say whether they let them through or not, just that there was this case. [I checked after if I was definately still okay. it;s the second time this term I've asked.]
so, um, don't be surprised if I'm spazzing out about my course. I mean, more than normal. I'm gonna do it right this time, you know. both quaaaack and xia_hime have mentioned about taking hiatuses [what is the plural anyway], and to be honest, I'm going to try and do it as well. I have to learn to work properly eventually.


this song is also made of crack and love. when they played it at Reading, I was 'wait, they're not- they can't be- oh yeah, they ARE.'
