Another Sunday, another weekend half over...

Yesterday I finished as much of the tonbschl site as possible (nearly there!), didn't win the lottery again, and went to a bath uni concert.

Tristan always tells me about the concerts (he's in the orchestra), but I hadn't been before, mostly because I've heard him practice. However, it actually wasn't that bad, especially once the orchestra had finished. They played a few things (mostly in tune), then there was a choir which sang some stuff (including Zadok the Priest, although most of the time I couldn't make out the words), there was an interval where I ate a mince pie and some of Hannah's M&Ms (yay!), and the band (which Leela is in) played some jazz pieces, which were actually very good. It was fun, I should have gone to them in the past. It also made me realise I miss not playing, especially the piano and violin - found myself wanting to be there playing. I should have another go at them sometime, I haven't really played since I left school 2 and a half years ago. Bit of a waste really - got up to two grade 7s, and a grade 5 and 4 on the stuff I used to play. Didn't take any harpsichord exams though, although most of those lessons were chord progressions on the electric keyboard...

However, now I have to start the compilers coursework, which sounds like it's going to be horrific, so I'm procrastinating as much as possible by checking lots of websites and writing this entry. I have told tonbschl that I won't be able to do much work on the site for the next week and a bit - I also have a literature review to write (which I haven't started either).

I think I'm a little screwed.

I have come to the conclusion that, in a few years time, after Hannah, Laura, Leela and Mandy are rich and famous, and their phrases have made it into popular culture, Oxford University Press will release a dictionary with a photo of me next to the definition of 'luck out'

Oh, and you all know what happens in 12 hours and 5 minutes, don't you... :)

I will leave you with an amusing link of the day (thanks mihtjel).
