Business Studies is go! My new Uni course officially starts today, but I am already a little way ahead with the reading. Not too far, just about a week. Not like some loser on the Café forum (a forum designed for all students on this presentation of the course, not just my tutor group), who has finished the first book, prepared a draft of the first assignment and is looking to start book 2! All I can say is this person obviously has no life! I could have spend the whole of October reading the first book, but I think it is important to take a break from these things, as there is only such much studying one brain can take. The build up to the T175 EMA was really hard going and I had to really apply myself to get it all finished. I think I earned some time off, and since we don’t get the regular holidays like those is full time education, I took the gap as a holiday.
I’m settling back into reading again quite nicely. In the shake up and move around of our house, I have moved my desk from the ‘study’ upstairs to behind the living room door, next to our new furniture. I think it will be easier to study here, but the TV does provide a large distraction. Hopefully I will be able to coincide study time with my wife watching something from our Sky+ planner that I don’t really want to see. If not, I will stick my earphones in and disappear into iTunes.
I downloaded the new iOS last week for my iPod Touch. There seem to be some good new features there, but I do find it quite strange that they add many of the new features of the iPhone to the Touch. I know they are basically the same, just that the Touch can’t make calls. Now however, it pretty much can! You can send text messages and use Facetime (video calling) with other iPhone or iTouch owners. The only drawback being that you must be connected to Wi-Fi in order to do it. I guess this is great for those who have access to a wireless network for most of their day. I don’t, so I can only use these features at home, which is totally pointless for me. I think I’ll stick to my trusty Android for now. Don’t get me wrong though, I love my iPod! When my previous one broke I was devastated. I use it multiple times a day to listen to music and podcasts. My favourite casts at the moment are:
Answer Me This!
Radio 4 Friday Night News Quiz
Richard Herring’s Warming Up
Richard Herring’s As It Occurs To Me
Phil and Phill’s Perfect Ten
They’re all comedy based, but also topical too.
We’re having a Halloween party for my daughter and some of her little friends tomorrow. We did say on the invites that the little ones are to dress up and fancy dress for adults is optional. My wife and daughter are both dressing as witches, and I am going for the firm favourite, Dracula. Nothing too scary though, as the oldest child there will be 4.
I feel there may be some Xbox time squeezed into the evening tomorrow too; namely when Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor are on. Both shows are quite watchable, but I think it is best that I do something else when they are on, as I have a tendency to comment on how stupid the contestants and the like.
My Wife and I went to a wedding last weekend, which was cool. I went to school with the bride, Vikki, and my Wife now works with her. Small world, you might say! I had to miss the service at the registry office because our daughter fell asleep in the car on the way over, so I sat with her and took her over to say hello to everyone once she woke up.
My Wife and I then went to the reception in the evening, leaving our daughter with her grandparents. We got a lift which was great, because it meant we could both have a few drinks for a change. One of my Wife’s colleagues got really drunk and lost her balance on her enormous high-heeled shoes. She fell flat on her backside in true Hollywood slow motion. I bet she felt a little bruised the following day. Both in pride and buttocks!
They served fish and chips as the buffet in the evening, along with sausages and bacon. I had a cone of chips with some fish goujons. Such a great idea for a wedding, I loved it!
It was our third wedding anniversary on Tuesday. To celebrate, we went to The Fish Factory in Littlehampton for a meal, which was amazing! No lift this time, so I drove and no alcoholic beverages were consumed. That’s ok though, as I don’t like to drink that often for various reasons.
All this blog writing has made me a bit hungry, so I’m off to grab a Ryvita. Yes you read that correctly, a Ryvita. I am dieting, and it’s takeaway night tonight, so I’ve got to be careful today. It’ll be worth it in the end, you’ll see!
