Back Again From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (407 days old)

God damnit. I've done it again. I really don't mean to just... vanish for months on end, but that seems to be how it turns out... hmmmm. Anyway, time to get this going again... *cracks knuckles* … more

Of cobwebs gathered... From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (480 days old)

Okay, so it's been a while. I did say I would be posting again and then it kind of fell through... sorry. See, I found out that my mother had been reading my blog, and that *really* put me off writing… more

And active again! From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (509 days old)

Or moderately so... Or... at least doing the whole update thing. So! Jacob! Me! First things first, tonight is my last night at uni until October, and my last night living in college altogether. F… more

Journal from hell... From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (523 days old)

Damn you, Journal of the Society for Information Display... I hate you so much! Why do I need to read so many of your articles? Why will you not let me unless I pay a rediculously high fee?! Graaaaa… more

Boring... From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (525 days old)

You know what's boring? Reading uninteresting chemistry paper on a laptop screen to get a sense of the format my dissertation should take. Ugh... I just... cannot... focus on blocks of text on a scr… more

Dissertation stikes back From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (526 days old)

Okay... so not so much 'and now I'm done with work'. I now have to work on my dissertation until the end of term. Turns out that the first draft is due in October, and since I have only the next f… more

Catching up... From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (527 days old)

Okay, so I've not posted in a while. Not properly, at least. (And somehow I got over 3000 hits a few days back.... hmm...) So here's a rundown of recent events. Firstly, as I mentioned before, I'v… more

Dissertation From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (527 days old)

Today is the last day of any proper work for me this year (ok, maybe tomorrow as well...) in which I sort out my Chemistry dissertation for next year. So far, I've signed up with a supervisor (ok, no… more

Done! From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (537 days old)

That's it... no more exams, no more revising, no more endlessly going over the same stuff. Today's five and a half hours of exam marks the end of my exam season, so now I'm free. ^_^ I would write… more

From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (548 days old)

Ok, so it's the start of exam week, so what's the last thing I should be thinking about? Games! I got a few new games a couple of weeks back (more on that later), but the real thing to write about… more

The Ex-am Cometh From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (550 days old)

So it's that time of the year again. Exams begin for me on Wednesday. Am I nervous? No. But only because my first exam is the one I'm most confident about. After that I generally get less and… more

May Day From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (555 days old)

So today is apparently a bank holiday, but that means less than naught to me. I can't afford to take (another) day off revision at this point, and I've had a lecture already anyway. Well, less lectur… more

I think the universe says it's sorry From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (558 days old)

After the whole rain/hail/washing thing earlier, I think the universe has realised it was mean, and has tried to apologise. It sent me a little bunny rabbit and a tiny baby fox for epic cuteness. … more

The universe hates me today From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (558 days old)

It's not the fact that it started raining at the exact point when I began the walk to the laundrette, nor that it stopped as soon as my (by then damp) washing was in the machine. It isn't even the fa… more

A degree in AWESOME From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (561 days old)

Okay, so I've been checking my module choices for next year to make sure they don't clash or anything, and I decided to look at the modules I'd be heading for in the following (my fourth) year. And… more

Angst From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (564 days old)

My mood, having spent the last week swinging wildly between anger, normalcy, misery and cheery, has now settled on miserable. I'm not eating or drinking well, I keep getting intermittent pains all … more

Priorities From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (570 days old)

Ok, I'm back at Durham and I've been working on timetables for the past hour or so.Here's my exam timetable for this year:Wednesday 14th May: Mathematical Methods in Physics (2.5 hours)Saturday 17th M… more

Solitude From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (572 days old)

Apologies in advance for this being one big misersable rant and stuff. So I'm still hugely, hugely upset over the loss of my girlfriend. More so now that any point after the first miserable night. … more

Mario Kart Wii From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (575 days old)

I've seen a number of reviews of Mario Kart Wii buzzing around the site and I felt that I had to add my two pence, since most seem to make MK:Wii to be the greatest thing since sliced television, and … more

Super Wut Bros From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (576 days old)

I just encountered a bug in Super Mario Bros. The original super mario bros for the NES (well, ported to the GBA, but still). Basically, I'd been playing through and when I reached world 2 I had mari… more

From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (577 days old)

*Moan* *Further moaning* Revision: hard, dull. Mario Kart: amazing, frustrating. Mood: lonely, remorseful. Itchy. Tasty. (Video game references: obscure) … more

=( From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (583 days old)

I've screwed up. And now I'm alone... really alone. More so than in years. My girlfriend has left me as a result of my misguided attempts at help and advice turning to an annoyance and then a sour… more

*sigh* From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (584 days old)

*whiney blog post* No! Bad Jacob! None of that... nobody wants to hear it. Not in a particularly cheery frame of mind, but I'm not going to be pathetic about it.... again. Mario Kart Wii is out o… more

And now for something completely different From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (593 days old)

No more angst, I promise. Or at least less... Chocolate! Of the wabbit-shaped variety. Why am I eating it this late? Because my antibiotics are horribly bitter, and I'd have a nasty taste in my mo… more

'Wisdom' my ass From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (595 days old)

My wisdom teeth have put me into a situation which I would rather avoid. Not very wise. After a few weeks of (recent) pain, preceded by intermittent periods of pain over the past few years I went… more

Because I Can't From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (599 days old)

Why do I always screw up? Godammit, I only ever try to be a good person, but I just never get it right. Not in the long run. No matter how hard I try, I'm the one who always destroys everything. I… more

11PM From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (608 days old)

One more lecture tomorrow, then I'm heading home. Woot. Everything is now handed in except for the Chemistry thing tomorrow, and I'm a good way through packing already. In other news, I'm kind o… more

8PM From Jtcgh in From the mind of Jtcgh... (609 days old)

So, a week after I started this countdown of my final day, and it's 8PM. The sun has gone down, it's getting colder (and windier), and I'm looking forward to a long rest. So just the one lecture to… more

Just 8 more hours of work left to go, half of which is tomorrow. I've also finally finished my lab report! Woot! It probably suck due to being rushed, but I can't do a whole lot to it, since it's r… more
