7 Days of Autumn Left
May 24th
From a totally meteorological perspective that is.
It’s going to be a rough 7 days. I have work on Wednesday, a dinner to go to on Thursday night (not sure if I should get out of it), 2 assignments due on Friday and then a 40% honours report due on Monday. I also realised that I need a credit in ALL my subjects to qualify to pass honours. Well, I should be getting a distinction anyway, but you know, the amount of effort I’ve put into honours is sub-par. Well so far I’ve been doing quite well in Parallel Computing and Network Security (ignoring the last assignment which I blame entirely on Alex =p I kid I kid…)
I’ve also been slacking off gym lately, going like once a week for like the past 3 weeks or so. Aye.
On a plus side, I managed to install my 80gb SSD into my macbook =) It now takes a mere 18 seconds to bootup. Yes I timed it. I also filmed it in fact. Although I cbb editing the video to make it play side by side like last time, was hoping that iMovie would support it but apparently it doesn’t. Sigh. Hmm maybe I’ll just get it to play PiP.
Okay, so I decided to do that instead, it’s uploading to youtube now 
Anyway, what else is new?
So I was talking to some people and was like “You know, if I get a pass for a subject I might as well as not bother with finishing off the rest of the year. Save myself $3k and graduate with Computer Science and Technologies (Advanced) which sounds better anyway”.
I’ll prob work more days and be more involved with some of club societies haha. Well, that’s what I would do if I get a pass which you know doesn’t sound too bad huh? I dunno, who would have thought “failing” would be such a positive.
Looked into some photography workshops today, there’s a 3 hour workshop for around $95 bucks. Seems kinda interesting, might considering doing it during the break.
Aye, anyway, here’s the SSD vs HDD comparison. I’m such a geek >.>
My life has a soundtrack
Mar 9th
Have you ever had random bursts of happiness for no particular reason?
I tend to get them whilst I’m walking around listening to music. It makes it seems that my life is like a movie with its own soundtrack. Artists include Eminem, Linkin Park, Jay Chou and JJ Lin, with over 100 other cameos.
As soon as I stepped out of the house, I felt it was going to be a good day. Whether or not it turns out to be a good day is another question. But so far it’s been fine.
Went to see the optometrist today (finally after 2 years). My eyesight has gotten worse I’ve realised. Reading street signs have become near impossible. Got my eyesight checked out and it seems that it’s only slightly worse. My right eye hasn’t changed, but my left has 
I apparently have that problem where the image distorts? Totally forgot the proper medical term.
Anyway, I prescribed a pair of specs but hopefully will only be wearing them when I drive or perhaps also in lectures (damn you IT kids wanting to sit at the back).
Gym has been a lot more fun now that I have a buddy It’s not as boring when compared to going by myself.
Macquarie also called me up begging for me to come back. Well, not really begging, but asking me to come back. So I’ll be working on Wednesday (tomorrow) and get to see some lovely people.
Honours is a pain at the moment, not really motivated to do it, I wouldn’t mind working full-time right now but then I’ll miss out all the uni-festivities.
Oh and I’m also now the IT director for USYD’s chopsticks. Attended their first event last weekend and met some extremely cool people.
So yes, next time you’re listening to music, pretend your life is dramatic and walk with purpose. No matter how big of a retard you may look at least inside your head you’re that GUY in that MOVIE.
That’s it for now, heading off the gym and let’s hope my day gets more exciting than sitting in front of my desk working on my honours.
