Sex, drugs and movies: the American Dream.

Hello,
So it would appear I might have to resit year one, due to a piece of course work which apparently I didn't hand in. Regardless of the fact I know I did and the uni system says the same. So I've queried that, but if they say tough luck, I chose to just resit, a slight blow to the ego (being that I've never failed anything I wanted to do before), but something one of Annie's friends said seemed to ring true.
"There is no shame in resitting year one."
I thought on this for a good few hours, and I had to thank him, because his true, there isn't. There would be more shaming in just giving up. So it looks as though it'll take an extra year on top to finish uni (the two years has slowly changed into 5 and a half). That is all depending on what the outcome of my missing course work is anyway. On a plus side, if I were to resit, I could go the path that has no maths in it.
Also, I'd honestly tell anyone, if you see a print you like on DA. Don't buy it, I have ordered mysecond ever print from DeviantArt, the first being "The Worlds Smallest Deviation", which took a while to get here, but expected as I am buying from overseas. However, my second was a birthday gift for Annie, now processing time to hit the road was said to be 1-3 days, today is the third day, so if I fail to get an e-mail today saying it is being shipped to my good friend in Canada, harsh words shall be exchanged would be the best way of putting it.
The gift is already late (her birthday was on Friday the 8th of September), she shouldn't have to wait even longer. At this rate I'll have to buy a second gift as a sorry for the huge delay for the first one.
Finally, I recently got my mits on an xbox (which I shall be modding when funds allow), and a copy of Forza, which for a mainstream simulator, isn't that bad. A few things I have problems with, but all in all, very enjoyable. Which wraps up for this week.
Take care,
~Jordan |

Hello,
So right now I'm sat in Concourse in Newton bulidng after sitting one exam and awaiting a second (had a 5 hours window inbetween them both). I hope I've done well enough to pass the course, otherwise I'm shit out of luck and I'll be taking a year out, get some cash built up, then chose if I want to go back, or just get a job save my money, and move to Canaduh.
I have recently got my mits on an orginal xbox, which shall be modded and turned into a media centre (center for Americans). Nice and smexy as it'll sit somewhere collecting dust filled with videos.
I've currently got an ongoing arty project, and I started building a portfolio of the work I have done (from tutrials, to my OC records). Currently it is rather empty but I have a lot of stuff to find and add to it. Should be fun.
That's all I can think of for this week.
Take care,
~Jordan |

Hello,
This weeks update was a little late (I was aimed to have them all done on Monday), but on the 24th of August 2006 (not even 4 weeks later), I get news that my Aunt had died. So you might say it's been a really bad year this year.
On a good note, my website hosted on my PDA hit 3,000 hits today. So I'm rather happy about that. It's amazing how much something spreads around the net. Speaking of things spreading on the net this has to be the greatest thread in forum history, just because of Funnybear's stories (you can skip everything else if you wish, but you must read his posts, funny guy). They make for a great read, and also show that some peoples jobs are too easy.
Now I'm sure I had some other news, but I cannot for the life of me remember it. I guess I can edit it in when/if I remember.
Take care,
~Jordan |

Hello,
Today kicked off with my going for an ECG, to make sure my heart is beating still and such, and now I have to wait for a date when I go for a scan. I also don't know anything about what the EGC showed because only a doctor can tell me that and not the nurse who did it. Stupid system as she had it right in front of her and could have just said "Oh, that's weird" or "Nothing to worry about", no, she has to give them to the doctor who will just say one of the above. God I hate the health care system.
I have taken my PC out of service (again), as the noise of fans was really starting to wind me up the wall. So until I get round to fixing that (in what ever way), I'm back t using my laptop again. Which is nice as it means I have two monitors. The extra realestate is so nice. I can run something fullscreen over yonder, but still be able to do something else over there and not have to close the fullscreen app over yonder. How I missed it, and if you're really intrested in what my desktop looks like, here you go. If I stop being lazy I might take a photo of my desk.
To follow up what was said last week about the lil trip, they lied, but it is expected. Still sucks though. That's all I guess.
Take care,
~Jordan |

Oh, I've waited for you forever.

Hello,
So on Thursday, as you know I saw my brother lowered into the ground. But the worst part had to be reading his name on the casket. I was almost at breaking when I saw his face on a flyer handed out, so that had to be turned over, but when his coffin came in and I read "Leon James Bush" on it, that was it for me. But what made it worse was the fact that I was up and down, I'd just recover from reading it and we sat down, some talking, then "Now lets sing..." and I had to read it again.
Then today I went to the doctors for what I thought was a scan or a test or some such, but no, he checked I had a beating heart, then told me I have the scan next Monday. I cannot stand waiting, I just want to know.
I also have to laugh, HARD at someone from uni. In my brothers death I got his old Xda IIi (they go for about £220ish [according to some webby] if you get a £13.99 a month contract with it), I'll probably never really use it, and I mentioned this to him, he wanted me to trade it with him for an xBox (go for around £70), now forget monetry value first of all, because he could have offered me £2,000 and I'd have turned it down, but lets say it didn't belong to my brother before this, I'd still say no to such a stupid offer. What the hell!
Finally, it would appear we might be going blackberry picking this weekend, maybe. Which should be nice as it means I get away from this place for a day and not have to go to something even worse. So I'll be sure to take lots of photos and share them on here.
Take care,
~Jordan
[edit: Just a slight update to show the world how much free time I have on my hands. I just turned the above PDA into a webserver. Not hosting much on it as of yet, but it's early days yet.] |
