Ancient Ramblings of a Young Man: January 2009

The end is in sight

Yes, indeed! The dreaded exams are nearly over for another couple of months.  Biomolecular Structure is all i have between me and Italy's fair capital.  Though as usual with me i cannot seem to get motivated to do anything.  After previous posts you know that i am not Biochemistry's biggest fan.  

I just thought i would post a short update as i haven't posted in awhile! I also thought i would notify you guys that i am infact a genius in the kitchen.  With an empty cupboard i rummaged through the various dreggs of the commie cupboard and whatever i could find in the fridge and managed to rustle up a rather nice chicken curry and chips.  I'm telling you ladies would be lucky to have me! Haha!

I am infact sick of pasta though after eating nothing but pasta for a month now! So i will be enforcing a NO PASTA law in House 16 for the first month of us being back!

As i cant seem to sleep or study!!!

I have decided to update!  currently waiting for a come and fetch me from the library text from a housemate! so hopefully they don't decide to study all night! 

anyways! since last post i updated you on my aims for the year and my plans for the end of the month!  Rome, this time two weeks if i can find a suitable internet connection i will update on what the first day involved!

studying for a degree that you really do not want is one of the hardest things one can come across in life, since about a year and a half into my degree, around about when my grandad passed away i realised that i really didnt want to do biochemistry.  Biochemistry itself is a very interesting field of science to be in and maybe if i was at a different University where the teaching staff cared and the course was actually Biochemistry then i'd like it a little more! but that is a rant for another day!

i have found it extremely hard motivating myself to study things such as microbial metabolism, genetic manipulation to name but a few.  the truth is currently i care more in life about many other things than my university degree, which is disturbing to me as a long time ago my mother made a promise to me that if i got to Uni and passed she would take me to New York, so currently there is alot on the table!

New York or no New York! i am well aware that currently i am rambling and not making much sense! this is what the pointless revision of how much the biodiesel industry is currently worth! 

i have alot on my mind currently and not a lot of it is biochem related! i have friends who i'm not sure how to reach out to and the usual third year feeling of oh my gosh what am i going to do in four months time!!!!

it is too late to apply for a PGCE so i guess my option is to work for the year! but that would mean probably working in O2 full time, and this would not be beneficial to my lifespan, or waist span!!!!  i have toyed with the idea of getting a 6month/1year visa to go and live/work/travel around New Zealand.  

there are many options for this 22 year old boy who doesn't to grow up to choose! when all he really wants to do is, be there for his friends and family!

i started doing quiet times again the past few days, God still blows my mind, how he can love a sinner like me and still find a use for me.  i praise him for the friends he has sent to watch over me in these tough times, you guys know who you are if you are reading.  i miss my friends from church back home, i wonder if they read this, Craigmore is still very much in my thoughts and prayers.

Ive rambled enough! back to biofuels!!!

So this is the New Year......

.....and i dont feel any different

or so sing Death Cab For Cutie (a must listen to band in my opinion)  and so the time comes for my first post of this new year, 2009! So what can we expect from me in 2009! well! Much worrying about the fact that i will be 23 this year! 20 flipping 3!

I do not know if i want to do biochemistry for the rest of my life! i graduate (fingers crossed in July) and i shall be released in the big bad world! or shall i? 

I am determined to make the most of 2009! Jermaine Defoe is back at Tottenham! 

At the end of January i will be heading with a few amigos to Italy's fair capital, yes thats Rome, Me, Niall Kissick, going on a holiday, could it be possible? Oh yes i tell you! 

I am very very excited about this prospect and no-one shall take it away from me!!!!  

On with 2009 then!

I aim to be an even better person than i was in 2008!
I will attempt to lose weight
I will give my upmost in my degree in order to get to NYC
I will sell sell sell in order to earn earn earn
and i will work work work in order to go to New Zealand for a couple of months!

Anyway, this is the Captain signing off for today!

God Bless
