This woman makes me laugh, a lot. She is completely mad. (0) comments My trademark procrastinating habit is rearing its ugly head, as I have 15 days to when I leave, I haven't started packing and the buggers at York have yet to send me my accommodation details. I am beginning to hate British people at their lack of competency. And they introduced bureaucracy to us! Adding to that, I am leaving next week for 3 days to good ol' Bangkok with my folks for some R&R, giving me even lesser time to catch up with things I have to do and people I want to meet before leaving. On the bright side, my visa is done, my ticket is done. I can literally sit on the plane and leave, provided my folks hand me some cash and instructions as to how to get somemore when I am there. I was reading up on the manuals and various handbooks the university's website has and I came across this , information on how to apply and access my very own loan! I am sure the interest rates are atrocious, but I have been entertaining thoughts of financing my own way through the 1 year. Of course, pragmatism dictates that I might as well pay my folks back when I start earning. Still, not having to run back to Daddy for more cash is a very attractive idea. LORD knows I have TONNES to do when I get there. I have to start looking up jobs, or PHD vacancies the moment I land as deadlines will draw nearer and I will need to sort out things like recommendations and application details. Not to mention schoolwork and the vast number of projects and assignments that is going to take up time. I am prepared to say that while it was entertaining and exciting to think that I could travel and visit everyone I know in Europe in one year, I am very likely to take a maximum of 1 vacation, and I really want to do that trip to Amsterdam for my birthday in March. Nothing says celebration than hanging out in a party town with your buds. And given that it is in March, that would give me ample time to convince people to come along. I hope. Today I am going to resume more reading (which I started a while back but abandoned in between for completely gluttonous TV-viewing reasons) on topics such as Machine Learning, and any amount of Statistics I can even handle. Lord knows it (Statistics) is fucking boring, and I am screwed 'cause a lot of my course requires a strong grasp of it. I am praying that my Math lecturer for the first term course is very good. I have learned through the last 6 years that I am definitely an audio-learner, rather than a visual one. Lastly to appease some of my hormone drive girl friends who do read this, I shall post a photo of the nephew-kins. Be prepared to oogle and coo embarassingly at your screens.  (1) comments Enjoy! (0) comments Putting all your MP3s you have ever owned (of the ones you can find) in one spot is a fantastic feeling. I have 9.8 GB of music right now, most of which I have not heard in awhile and it's dizzying just going through track after track. This after I've stopped listening to a lot of new music out now. A few gems I have discovered that I have: Chris Cornell's acoustic Unplugged in Sweden of his Soundgarden hit, Black Hole Sun The two Electric Soft Parade albums I procured a year ago Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang All The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, Sting (& The Police), Asian Dub Foundation that I own Mmmmm...Now I am ready to go to York. :D Labels: Music (0) comments |
